The Man Who Planted Trees

The video that Professor Hirsch showed us in class was quite interesting. The man who planted trees demonstrated how one person can make a difference in the world. He spent his life planting acorn seeds for years and planted over 10,000 seeds and as a result a forest grew. People who saw this thought that God had created such a beautiful forest, and that man was incapable of creating such a thing because of the destruction that they implement on the world. The man who planted the trees didn't care about war, or wealth, nor did he care about the recognition of the beautiful forest. He planted the trees because it was necessary for the survival of the land and for people to live, because before the trees it was nothing but land and sand.

Perhaps from watching this video you can realize that one person or an individual can make a difference. If one man could plant over 10,000 trees, then what would be the possibilities of everyone planting just a 100 trees, and help reduce the carbon dioxide emissions giving off and entering the atmosphere. All of these trees can help provide the earth with oxygen and help mother nature survive. Instead of concerning ourselves with the materialistic side of the world and economy, we should focus on protecting the planet that helped us survive for all these years. Right now, nature is asking for our help, she's showing us that we are in danger and only a few are listening and acting on it to help sustain life. We need to all do our part and help, even myself, and therefore we can create a world in which our children and later generations to come can have an opportunity to live a life without worrying about the problems that is harming the earth.
