Trees Are Here To Be Loved Not To Be Logged And Burned

Can you hear the trees crying?

They nourish, they protect. They give warmth and air to breathe. They share ancient wisdom and if you listen closely you can learn a few things for your own life path.

We are losing the connection to our old friends.

Instead of valuing their existence and living in a relationship in which we both give and take, we have become so used to them that we only see them as a source for our comfort. Something to use. Something to take from. In a speed that does not give enough time for them to recover. To grow old.

We log and we burn. And while the earth becomes hotter, even more trees burn. Taking with them the homes of animals and other plants.

Can you hear them screaming? Can you hear them crying?

Let us help our friends. Protect nature and trees!
