[GMW #2448] Planting A Minimal Number Of Trees Each Year

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500

~ Idea 1412 ~ 23 May 1998

Last year, on a rapid train ride of five hours from my hometown in Alsace-Lorraine to Paris, a ride covering half the breadth of France, I was shocked that there was practically no forest left. There were hundreds of miles of uninterrupted ploughed fields for the cultivation of cereals. Only on hills on the horizon could one see some forests. But when closer, I noticed that two-thirds of their slopes had been "cleared" to plant vineyards. I can understand that France needs plenty of cereal foods. But do we need wine, al kohol? Where will France get its oxygen from?

Some day the world will be divided no longer into developed and underdeveloped countries, but oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor countries. Why doesn't the French government at least decree that a minimum number of trees must be planted on each acre of cereal fields? This practice is already wide-spread on coffee plantations in a "poor" country like Costa Rica which would not even need it, since more than a third of the country is covered by legally protected forests and which gets ample oxygen from both the Atlantic and Pacific.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking

To speak and to write are an intimate part of life, an expansion and observation of life, a two-way process of learning, teaching, communicating and contributing to human progress and happiness.

Therefore, do not become a speaker or writer for speaking or writing sake, but as a means of fulfilling yourself and bringing knowledge, happiness, joy, fulfillment and goodness to other humans and to the further evolution of humanity and of the Earth.

WORD FOR THE DAY
Enveloped in Your Light,
may I be a beacon to those in search of Light.

Sheltered in Your Peace,
may I offer shelter to those in need of peace.

Embraced by Your Presence,
so may I be present to others.
--Rabbi Rami Shapiro
