The Man who planted trees

During the last class of the semester, our professor showed us a video of a man who went around, in the desert planting trees. In this desert area there was not a thing growing, not even a bush. The man felt as though it was time to give back to mother nature and the earth. He wanted to make a difference and feel as though he helped in some small way. He planted 1000 trees and made a forest where there was none previously. This in turn helped reduce the CO2 levels, and helped to raise the O2 levels in that area's atmosphere.

After he finished that task he then began to make honey from honey bees. He went on doing other things for the benefit of others and helping the earth.

This movie showed us that one person really can make a difference in their habitat. If people do a few simple, small things, it can add up to one big difference. After learning all about global warming, how the atmosphere is crumbling, how the polar ice caps are melting, etc. it was nice to end the semester with such an uplifting movie. It gets you thinking about how much one or even ten men can accomplish, if they put their minds to it. Quitting would be the worst thing that can happen. If you don't quit, then you can never fail!
