I am the forest.

I take in your pollution, and give you clean air, purify your water and protect your shores.

Yet, you continue to cut me down releasing carbon dioxide into the air and healing this planet.

While some of you stand with me, some of you turn your backs at me. But I am resilient.

Let me grow and we can solve your climate problem together.

When one tree falls, you might not hear it. But when millions fall, I assure you, you will feel it.
