Cutting Down Trees
Homeowners are cutting down our trees again and even city owned trees (I mean the ones between the granite curbs and the sidewalks). The tree services when I’ve asked – brush me off with “Oh they were dying anyway.”
I am 75 years young and have lived in the New England region most of my life. I am an environmentalist from childhood. When I look at the cross section of severed trunks and branches with healthy leaves: My soul weeps.
Has no one heard of global warming? Our poor Mother Earth!
What are we leaving for the next generation?
