The thirtieth:
Time to remember
Article published in December 2013:
A baby is born and takes 15 years to reach an adult’s height. When a puppy dog is born, it takes roughly 15 months to look like an adult dog. Time goes by to everyone, in the same way… however each species of the animal kingdom answers in a different way.
Among trees happens the same thing. While an avocado tree grows rapidly in its first years of life, a brazil wood tree shows a much slower growth in the same period.
This could be a motivation not to plant it and to chose a tree with a faster growth rate, instead. With this option, endangered species (which is the case of the brazil wood tree) have more difficulty to recover the space they had in the past, and remain under threat.
Let us re-think our attitude when we plant… Let us remember that time acquires different dimensions to the living beings: wheter a bacterium, a puppy dog, we, human beings or the various species of plants and trees.
