(No you haven’t surfed to the wrong site. This is definatley still a music site first. Once in awhile I have to listen to my heart instead of my head and stand up and post other things that I feel are worth holding up to the light)

~~ What? Rapid housing development. Where? City of Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia. Who? Humankind. When? Right now, already begun. Why? Perhaps greed, perhaps short sight, perhaps we’ve forgotton our connection to the earth? ~~

Online petition – Save the River Red Gums in the City of Whittlesea

Although trees do have limbs and usually far more than we have. Trees do not have mouths or arms to defend themselves with. They can not say whether or not they’d like to be choped down. I know most of you who are reading this, live overseas and the removal and or destruction of these trees will not directly affect you, perhaps this minute anyway.

Yet these actions, backyard, by suburb, by town, by city, by state, by country, do put things out of balance which in turn are affecting our entire planet.

Here is an image of what a River Red Gum looks like. Keep in mind, this example image is not from the area that this post is about, however. They are usually a couple of hundred years old already, sometimes a lot older. If you would like to help these trees, what’s left of them, to continue on enjoying their life and providing you with more air so you can continue on enjoying your life. Then click the link and add your name to the petition.
