Vendor Kianna Drummond On The Importance Of Trees

Trees are very important to people on the Earth – there are so many ways people depend on trees.

First, for paper. Second, to purify the air we breathe.

As far as paper goes, trees have to be chopped down for it. That’s why they have hand dryers in public bathrooms. Some restrooms give you a choice to choose the dryer or paper towels, and there is a note on the wall about saving trees.

If StreetWise could just talk about trees in our magazine, just maybe we could open up more eyes as to why trees are important to us.

I watched a cartoon, “The Lorax,” by Dr. Suess. It talks about Earth without trees because one man chopped all of the trees down to make scarves, shirts, basically clothes. He chopped and chopped until there were no more trees. All the animals left. They had fake trees, fake air, but the mayor of the cartoon started selling bottled air like you would buy a six-pack. Could that happen in real life?

If we don’t treat our trees properly, we’ll be breathing fake air or (LOL) buying air. Not that if could really happen. But what if it could?
