The thirtieth:
Time to remember
Article published in July 2015
Many people pay daily attention to a pet (little kitty, doggie, etc.). It’s very good to have their presence at home… However, considering the possible extinction of some species, have you ever imagined dedicating yourself to a panda bear, every day ?
The panda, a mammal natural from China, became a symbol of protection of threatened species, decades ago… We know that extinction is forever. It happens when an animal or plant, for example, cease to exist on Earth.
You may not have a panda at home, but you can take care of a native tree of your region and help to save it from extinction. If this proposal makes sense to you, know that a common citizen can consistently contribute to this cause, with no complications and at a low cost.
To plant a seedling and look after it, is not difficult. It may be in a public square, on the sidewalk of your house, in the backyard, or even at the balcony of an apartment. Taking care of it every day means helping it to survive possible threats (locusts, ants, drought, vandalism, etc.).
If you have ever taken care of a pet, you know what it is taking care of someone. A tree will need more attention in its first year of life.
Later, when its trunk grows thicker, it will instil respect on others by itself. Isn’t it so among us, humans, as well ?
Plant a tree and take care of it every day. It is a demonstration of love towards the divine creation, and it is at anyone’s reach.
