Subject: RE: BS:Facebook - Brilliant Idea for Trees!
Good Lordy! There's always one, isn't there!!!
What do you want? Do you want people to just not give a shit then? Do you want trees cut down all over and never to be replanted because they're not the origianl species????
This is like The Traddies taking over the Woods! "No, we can't plant that 'cos it wasn't put there by Cecil Sharp and there isn't a REAL tree!"
I mean??????
Did you not watch the wonderful BBC programme raising money for the BBC Wildlife Fund, where Chris Packham went to find the sadly depleted, but beautiful, Scarlet Macaws? They are now ensuring that all of them are protected, and thus that includes their habitat.
It showed you the Corporate Logger Bastards with their huge vehicles, ploughing down the trees by the minute, vast, huge, unbelievable areas of rain forest gone, in hours, days.....just GONE.
But where the Macaws were they are not allowed to enter...and the forest was rich and lush, as it's always been.
If thousands, millions of people take this idea up, then you will also have ALL of those people re-connecting to the Earth, thinking about its future, thinking about THEIR future....
And I'm sorry, but that, in my mind, is one helluva lot better than just getting folks to sit on the Materialistic Arses and do absolutely nothing.
We may not be able to recreate the forests of the past, but we can damn well create the forests of the future, even if those 'forests' are scattered around in people back gardens, or on village greens. The trees will still be there, breathing in, breathing out, and helping Mother Nature to repair so much of the terrible damage we have done...
