Your Turn Main Letter Nature message

I have seen a tree in Sharjah, which seems to have grown in difficult conditions — without proper care, sunlight or nurturing. This is what survival is all about. I applaud the authorities for maintaining greenery in and around the city in such an efficient manner. However, if possible, they must opt to plant trees which are designed to grow faster and taller and don't require a lot of water or extra care. Since the weather is warm in most months, planting more trees could help facilitate existing conditions. With enough research, it may even be possible to plant trees that could be used for medicinal purposes, too. This would be beneficial for everyone.
