Plant life, trees, greenery, form the very sustenance of the earth. They frame light and nurture water. Where there are plants and trees there is the oxygen of nature – forests, rain, flora, fauna, and countless interconnected systems and living creatures from the largest to the tiniest. The protection and incrementation of trees and plants is essential to the organic survival of the earth, including the human species. In our arrogance we forget that nature can live without us, but we cannot live without nature.
