If trees had faces and could talk… they’d likely say:
Please don’t cut us down so much; please plant more of us; please take better care of Mother Earth; please see that we’re all connected and exist in many branches of life!

[Forests are indeed “the lungs of the Earth,” absorbing carbon dioxide and pollutants from the atmosphere and releasing oxygen that human beings and nearly all animal forms need. And forests’ influence goes beyond that simple, amazing process: We also know that they play a critical role in managing the climate, air quality, and rainfall patterns — in ways we are just beginning to understand. Even though they have huge environmental value, over half of the world’s forests have been lost due to deforestation. What’s worse, we’re cutting them down at greater rates each year to plant crops, graze livestock and generate income from timber and other forest products. We can change to use less lumber, less paper, and plant more; it is “doable”!]

The common message you write is said by all living things… they all desire life, growth and creating offspring.
this tree is really shouting at us to wake up. Remember the Doors? They sang: what have they done to the earth, our mother? Ravaged and plundered her…. I hope your plea will be heard all over the world. You help to make it a little better, Thomas, regards Mitza
Yes… in a big way, we all are similar (and not all that separate).
A most fabulous tribute! 🙂 Thank you! Cheerz, Ucle Tree
