Day 15: Plant a Tree!

PLANT A TREE!
A friend of mine was going on a walk last week. She mentioned to me that as she was admiring spring and the cherry blossoms, a neighbor began to converse with her. He told her about his father and how he had had planted that tree. He himself had planted a sapling next to it… He was excited that his children and grandchildren hopefully would reminisce, just the way that he was about his father. What a nice sentiment!
I remember, one of my lovely cousins once collected donations to save one of the oldest trees in Hyderabad. A being that might have witnessed so much, been through so much and survived. That was pretty awesome of her.
I don’t want to go on about the importance of trees because we all know it. We have witnessed it ourselves. They are majestic and beautiful, provide shade, a home, fruit, flowers and wood to those in need. It would be a real shame to lose them.
There are so many organizations out there who will do it for you too… in remembrance of a family member/friend, or just for the sake of the environment. Whatever your reasons may be…
So, maybe today, or tomorrow or one day, just think about it, plant a tree, maybe a few, and leave a sustainable legacy behind!
