How do we count the ways we love trees?
We love trees for all the grace and glory
their lofty heights and century-old stories.
We love trees for all that they are
from cleaning the air to the sea of the arctic char.
Where would we be without their bountiful treasures,
whether it’s climbing their limbs for outdoor leisure
or thrashing in the thickets of a yellow fever.
Even the pests of an ash and pine
love these trees so much that it’s led to decline.
Which is why we must plant more trees in the ground
to keep our soil healthy, plentiful, and abound.
The roots of trees soak in excess rainwater
then release it back to cities as drinking water.
The leaves of trees take in the heat of the sun
then breathe it back out to cool everyone.
Without the trees that line our streets
our sidewalks and homes would overheat.
We love trees for the fruits of their labor
and the joy it brings neighbor to neighbor.
So let’s plant more trees week after week
because a world without trees is a world too bleak.
Perfect
La naturaleza es tan importante que hay que cuidarla, al máximo nuestros arboles es nuestro oxigeno para seguir viviendo, la naturaleza. la esta dañando por tanta gente que piensa que no va pasara nada, pero en realidad nosotros no los cuidamos moriremos pronto, Yo estoy a favor de cuidar nuestros arboles y nuestro medio ambiente.
Very cool that Arbor Day has some sort of map/scales/planning set up for anyone from an individual on up to a city to add up the environmental impact were having by our “carbon footprint”. It’s my dream that one day our cities will require us to plant so many trees per acreage / yardage or even feet. If you observe the landscape of any urban or suburban land in comparison to forrested or natural resource land in should be obvious the differences in depths of trees. It looks to me that’s what nature required to keep balance with all the carbon producing organisms on the planet which are now MUCH greater due to our explosion and dominance. Amen to Arbor Day for laying the groundwork footprint for a hopeful future : )
Love this website and how it informs people of the value of our trees! I remove trees when it is need but without them our land would be burned by the sun.
