Planting Trees, Replenishing The Earth, And Shopping Strategically

State of the Planet (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

By Czeslaw Ogiela

It seems like everyone is interested in talking about the environment and the state of the planet these days.

Quite frankly, most of these people have very strong opinions that they have formed already; while many people end up engaging in "deep discussions" (which, more often than not, resemble "arguments") about whether or not the planet is in immediate and dire need of help, the thing this conversation fails to acknowledge is the simple fact that - regardless of the current state of the planet - each of us should be doing our small part to make sure we leave Earth a better place than we found it.

One of the big things you will see people discussing is "trees," with the extremists on one side pointing to all the paper we use on a daily basis and highlighting all the trees that were cut down in order to make this paper, and with the extremists on the other side pointing out that all the trees used for paper are grown on tree farms and have no effect whatsoever on the natural growth of all other trees.

What both sides rarely take a look at, however, is the fact that the continuous expansion of human civilization causes us to continually move into areas where trees once thrived - knocking them down to make room for ourselves! Because of this, it will help to team up with initiatives that are centered around planting trees - because every little bit of replenishment helps!

Another thing to be aware of is the fact that each and every one of us has a responsibility to encourage others to do their small part - and where others are confused as to what, exactly, this means, we have a responsibility to educate them!

And finally, you should recognize the fact that there are some corporations that do nothing at all to replenish the Earth's resources they are using, and there are others that do as much as they can to pitch in on taking care of the planet - and when you shop strategically, you can also help to make a big difference.

Even though there is a lot of debate as to "exactly what the state of the planet is at present" - and even though you may have your own opinions formed on the topic already - there is no reason for you to not do your part to take good care of this marvelous planet we are all blessed to have; make sure you are doing your small part to help, and in the long run this will add up to make a big difference in Earth's wellbeing and preservation.
