Save The Redwoods
28 Jan
“Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot defend themselves or run away. And few destroyers of trees ever plant any; nor can planting avail much toward restoring our grand aboriginal giants. It took more than three thousand years to make some of the oldest of the Sequoias, trees that are still standing in perfect strength and beauty, waving and singing in the mighty forests of the Sierra. Through all the eventful centuries since Christ’s time, and long before that, God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand storms; but he cannot save them from sawmills and fools; this is left to the American people.” – John Muir
“but he cannot save them from sawmills and fools,” great stuff.
College just had me read that!
That’s an astonishing quote. I think trees are also like humans – they have feelings and emotions. It’s said in Castaneda’s books. I feel sorry for the beautiful trees being destroyed. (((
