too bad u missed the tree planting ceremony, which i feel is a positive way of giving back to nature.
the activity of planting a tree has very high ROI :
- the tree will always be there for hopefully most of your lifetime (unlike picking up garbage, in which next day new garbage will return)
- the tree will give back oxygen to the surroundings, shade to passersby, keep the soil firm & help absorb rain & moderate flooding
also, i believe it is highly relevant that in this day and age that everybody tries to go green.
in this picture, u can see along the fence a row of 20 out of 40 young trees that we had planted at 1030am this morning.
