Coming back to uyo, from edo state, I saw some men 👬 ploughing a region cultivated with trees.
I then wondered if they really plant another tree back.
Agricultural science taught us that when you uproot 1tree, you plant 2 to replace, keeping everything in balance.
Yes technology is advancing, the world is developing and the trees are suffering, cos they are being used and no one is there to defend them.
I am speaking for the trees now,
Give back to nature and it will definitely give back to you.
Abuse nature and vise versa will be the results.
Looking at the life of wangari (bless her soul)

Her achievements astound me, and ever since I read about her contributions to nature, I decided to follow like pathway in my own little way.
Save the tree 🌲
