The Cost of Oxygen!!
The cost of Oxygen. Very interesting!!!
In one day a human being breathes oxygen equivalent to three cylinders.
Each oxygen cylinder on an average costs Rs 700, without subsidy.
So in a day one uses Oxygen worth Rs 2100 and for a full year it is Rs 7,66,500.
If we consider an average life span of 65 years; the costs of oxygen we use become a staggering sum of Rs 500,00,000. Rs 50 million.
All this oxygen is derived free of cost from the surrounding trees..
Very few people look at trees as a resource and there is rampart tree cutting going on everywhere which should stop.
Please pass this to your friends and care for trees.
