What A Friend We Have In A

I Learned In America A Long Time Ago, The Three R's, The Principle Of Three R's - Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. And As I Say Those Words, There Are So Many Things Individually We Can Do To Reduce - We Don't Need To Consume As Much As We Are Consuming. Reduce. And By Reusing, We Can Reuse A Lot Of Things We Just Throw Into The Dumpsite. And Reduce The Production. The More We Reuse, The More We Can Reduce.

For Me Planting A Tree Is A Very Doable Thing. It's Not Complicated, It Doesn't Require Technology, It Doesn't Require Much Knowledge, But It Can Be A Very Important Entry Point Into Communities Understanding How They Destroy Their Own Resources, But How They Can Also Restore Those Resources, And Not Wait For Their Government Or International Agencies To Come And Help Them.

After Hurricane Katrina, Many People Said That The Levees Were Not As Effective As The Natural Vegetation That Had Been Removed At The Coast. So That Means As We Develop These Seaside Land Masses, We Need To Have Enough Knowledge To Not Regret In The Future. We Know That The Us Government Is Literally Buying These Lands Back To Allow Them To Be Rehabilitated.

The Issue Of Carbon Is One Area Where We Really Need To Work Together And If People Don't Have The Technology They Need, That Technology Needs To Be Made Available And Affordable.

Every One Of Us Can Make A Contribution. And Quite Often We Are Looking For The Big Things And Forget That, Wherever We Are, We Can Make A Contribution. Sometimes I Tell Myself, I May Only Be Planting A Tree Here, But Just Imagine What's Happening If There Are Billions Of People Out There Doing Something. Just Imagine The Power Of What We Can Do.
