Rainforest Statistics
- We are losing 33.8 million of acres of tropical forest per year.
- More then the total area of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,Connecticut, New Jersey and Delaware combined!
- That is 2.8 million acres lost per month....
- That is 93.000 acres lost per day...
- That is 3.800 acres lost per hour...
- That is 64 acres lost per minute.....
You do the math....

Think about this...
- For every tree we chop down one person on this earth suffocates.What if the next tree is "yours"?
- A tree not only provides us with shade from the hot summer-sun, and with its beauty, but is also the home to a large number of animals. How would you feel if some one destroyed your home?
- Why not plant at least one tree a year, if not in your own garden, then in your parents, family or friends backyard? Would our example not encourrage children, the adults of tomorrow , to do the same?
- In quite a number of religions and philosofies, trees play a very important part. Could it be because the feeling we get from trees, is a picture of dependability?
- Did you know that in ancient religions the world tree "Yggdrassil" is the center of the earth, carrying the world on all levels of existance?
Almost every tree, in one way or another, has healing powers...either through preparations, with the leafs, the bark or the fruits, or through its calming effect on stressed people enjoying its beauty!
Lets all start planting!
Thanks,
