We, Humans, have something to say to you, Trees:
Dear Trees,
Thank you
Thank you for providing us with oxygen, fruit, a hug from time to time
Thank you for standing strong and mighty, providing a sense of stability
Thank you for letting us climb your sturdy branches
Thank you for ending our seasonal depression come spring
Thank you for shedding your vibrant fall leaves
Thank you for holding wildlife in your leafy arms
Thank you for singing in the wind
Thank you for holding a tire swing
Thank you for being the creator of the leaves in our leaf piles
Thank you for growing old
Thank you for being you, Trees
Now, we Trees have something to say to you, Humans:
Dear Humans,
No thank you
No thank you for ravaging the Amazon Rainforest
No thank you for clearing the Tongass National Forest of our ancestors who stood there strong for centuries
No thank you for thinking you can do this whole earth survival thing on your own
No thank you for prioritizing cattle ranches over us
No thank you for being disgustingly selfish
No thank you for letting us burn alive
No thank you for mistaking the trunks of power lines as the trunks of us
No thank you for acting like O’ Hare from the Lorax
No thank you for ignoring the raging climate crisis
No thank you for robbing us from Indigenous Peoples
No thank you for being you, Humans
NO THANK YOU!
That's all we have to say.
Why don’t we start treating global warming as our top priority?
Why don’t we consider the consequences generations to come will suffer because of our actions?
Why don’t we start caring?
