Chapter Content
Industries should plant trees and ensure vegetal cover in their premises. This is particularly advisable for those industries having more than 10 acres of land.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk emphasizes the importance of having vegetation, specifically trees, within industrial premises. It suggests that industries should actively engage in planting trees and maintaining vegetal cover, especially if they occupy a large area (more than 10 acres). Vegetal cover plays a crucial role in enhancing the environment by improving air quality, providing habitat for wildlife, and contributing to soil stabilization.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a large factory as a boat on a lake. If the boat has no trees (vegetation) around it, the lake can become polluted and lifeless. However, if the boat plants trees around it, the lake becomes vibrant and full of life, benefiting not only the factory but also the surrounding environment. Just like the boat, industries can create a healthier ecosystem by planting and maintaining trees.
