Trees are the answer...

Trees are the answer to so many questions... 

 

What can I do today to address global climate change?  Trees are the best carbon sinks known. Planting helps to reverse our carbon footprint.  Reforestation will reverse the changes we have caused.

 

What is the most comprehensive metaphor for life? The tree of life is as old as our ability to reflect on life.  Considered sacred knowledge.   What can you learn from trees?

 

What can I do right now to address my anxiety?  Go for a walk in a forest, ground yourself to Mother Earth, take deep breaths of oxygen rich air from the plants, hug a tree and relax.   The greener the forest the greater the reward.
