plastic trees

The video "The man who planted the trees" by Christopher plummer was very uplifting and made me analyze things.  The main character Bouffier takes 30 years to make a forest.  He planted over 100,000 oak seeds and out of that only 20,000 grew to become trees. This short cartoon film showed me one person can make a huge change.  And if we dedicated our lives to saying the forest and the environment we can better it.  If we all planted just one tree we can stop the process of deforestation.  Deforestation causes disturbance in the environment as far as the carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle.  i believe the cartoon aspect of the film made it easier to interpret and can be related to all age groups especially the younger demographic and i believe thats where this way of life of helping the environment should start.  The movie had a positive message and made me have faith that there is possible to make a change, one person at a time.  Here is an article i found on the benefits of planting trees.
