The need and the desire to be a cut above the rest has left mother Earth screaming for action.
Enough is enough.
Mother Earth has heard enough.
This world keeps on looking for ways to elecate their so-called insatiable desires.
Wanting everything, from clothes to furniture top notch.
What is left for mother nature?
Trees being cut down relentlessly on a daily basis.
How I wish a button could put an end to all this destruction.
We’re so short-sighted that we live for today and care not about tomorrow.
Our deadly actions have consequences, lest we cry fowl in the end.
Trees have numerous functions in human life.
Just to mention a few, the air that we breath comes from those unappreciated trees.
The fruits we so drool over — from the juicy citrus to the chewy deciduous — it’s all from the trees.
What can be done without trees?
Those lavishly built houses owe it to that blessing that goes unnoticed.
It’s time to take a stand.
Change begins with me.
Do now what will make you happy tomorrow.
More planting and less cutting should be the strategy we all follow.
