It's for us, the trees, and animals, too.
Mother Earth provides us with what we need,

We have ignored her for a long enough time.
How we treat her is nothing less than a crime.
May we learn from the mistakes as fast as we can,
Because can't you see destruction has already begun?
Treat Mother Earth With Respect
Mother Earth
