I was born, in England, in 1947, into a less wealthy society, and , sadly , we aspired to the same wealthy & comfortable lifestyle as Americans had. I grew up with a 'waste not want not' ethos, but couldn't avoid the disposable society - as they say 'When America sneezes, Europe catches a cold' and we've caught the same mindless, consumer focused idea of life. I am inspired by the young bloggers I read, it gives me great hope, but we ALL need to be getting on this particular bandwagon and becoming evangelists for the planet.

It's about more then planting trees - we also need to reduce the amount of CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) we emit. However, agreed planting tree is an easy, good start.

Start planting them. Trees, only trees can save us by absorbing the co2 that is already there in the atmosphere. Start planting them.
