First Do No Harm. Then Do Some Good!

This is a true story.
...And it's mighty strange
seated on their individual power trips, a debate that should indeed be over is being quibbled about. yes, that's right. we are now debating over whether we should debate whether global warming and its causes is debatable.
but let's not worry about the fat cats, huh?
TAKE A LOOK -Please click on the photos for explanations and evidence.
i don't want to go into more documentation than is listed here, because the point of this post is ACTION, not debate. There are many websites out there for anybody who wants some more proof.
so, just how much power do you and I have over the future of the planet? just you and i, doing our individual planet-changing thing?
shall we find out?
Since I know that Opera people care about the environment I have created the first ever:
DOING TAG.
you don't have to say anything, but you do have to DO something and I will start first.
by PLANTING A TREE.
A TREE!!!!
Just one tree is a buffer against global warming. This is because trees absorb carbon dioxide, and release oxygen thus keeping greenhouse gasses in check. How many trees can save a planet? Why don't we find out how much of a dent we on Opera can make?
I am tagging the following friends and nature lovers to PLANT ONE TREE by the end of the year:
Martin
Darko
James
Rhona
Fati
Nick
LC
Marcus
Aadil
Dillon
There are only two requirements:
1. The tree should be as drought resistant as possible.
(when it gets very, very hot, some trees hold onto the oxygen and release carbon dioxide)
2. It should be indigenous to your local area. No planting exotics that don't belong!
If it will also one day provide food or shelter for animals and birds, then you get bonus points
I am also asking everybody on this list to tag at least five other people to do the same. You can tag more if you like and that will be even more positive and encouraging. Imagine how many we'll plant? Almost everybody always does what the tag says, right?
It would be wonderful if we all posted pictures of our tree-planting ceremony, afterwards, wouldn't it?
Please plant a tree, my friends! Get out there, dig a hole and plant a tree! Plant more than one!
Or come back and tell me why it wasn't possible.
I'll be back soon too, with my tree planting adventure pics

Nature can heal nature, if we lend a hand. And most of us have them
