Plant for Planet
It was a bright autumn afternoon. A flock of birds were chirping; the sun was glowing like a disk of gold. But neither the sound nor the sight was affecting me. I was standing numb beside my window with a blank look, watching the best companion of my childhood falling over with every strike of a cruel axe. There was a mango tree beside my house. I grew up seeing this tree, which was also growing every year. It could be seen from my bed, so when I used to wake up in the morning, the first thing that I saw was the tree. I used to start my day with the sight of its beautiful green leaves. When I went to bed at night, it was dark all around. Still I looked at least once through the window to see it. I loved to stare at it, even in the deep darkness, because I knew the tree was there. I saw its high branches were kissing the ground. In front of my eyes, it fell on its face. I was just a mute spectator, as the tree belonged to some other people. The lovely tree was cut over within an hour, creating an eternal emptiness. It just wasn't an emptiness of that place; it was also the absence of a life from earth. I looked inside my room, where my little sister was sleeping peacefully in her cradle. Just like her, the tree had its life, its existence as a living creature even an hour before. Being stunned with what had happened, a thought struck me for the first time. I felt an intense pain, not only for the Krishnachura tree with which I was emotionally attached. I drowned in deep thought about the reckless nature of human beings.
A big question arose in my mind. If we only concentrate on consuming for today and don't think about tomorrow, won't it be the beginning of our extinction? It's true that by exploiting the environment we are getting some benefits right now. However, fulfilling these selfish motives will lead to the destruction of whole planet someday. Does the creation that took millions of years to

    The night descended into a haunting quietude notwithstanding, as the tranquility was overwhelmed by the benign yet mournful screech of a night owl, perched on the lowly branch of an elm tree. It was perhaps the most idyllic night in a long, long while. It was the perfect night to die, and Ms. Brundidge couldn’t have been any prouder of her decision to let go, tonight.…

    “Sure” I answered. Reese trusted the creature into the air with all of his might and when it came back down it crashed into Reese's foot and went gliding through the air and plummeted to the concrete like it fell from the clouds. I went up to it and I could smell the creature and it smelt like one hundred year old fish. I picked it up and threw it back down the street before it could run away.…

    As a red panda the murmurs of the other animals usually don’t wake me out of a deep slumber, but today something was wrong very wrong. Everything looked so different in the light of day; I was usually asleep by dusk at the latest. Sleepily looking around I noticed my mother and siblings had not been awoke, so why had I? Unexpectedly I felt the air move behind me, in a startled reaction I jumped up as high as I could hitting my furry head on a branch high above. The pain in my head had distracted me from what I had landed in, some unknown sticky substance. Forgetting to balance as trying to separate my petite little fingers I fell helplessly to the jungle floor not missing a branch on the way down.…

If we do not make changed sometime soon they we will be to blame when we alter things beyond repair in our life times or the life times of our children and grandchildren. The parts we are playing include, “releasing gases in to the ozone, polluting river lakes and oceans, and destroying the last natural habitats of the animals.” (Adams, 2010).…
