My in-laws received a fundraising letter disguised as a survey on trees and why people like them. So I started asking the people around me: why do you like trees, specifically, what are the top one or two reasons to have trees in a neighborhood, in the places you live and work and shop?
"Trees attract wildlife, lots of little critters live in and around trees." -a math teacher from Maryland
"Trees are a connection to the natural world, and a reminder that we are part of that world." -a naturalist from Oregon
"Trees provide shade." -a minister from California
"Trees help manage water." -a parent from California
"I like trees because they save the earth." -a mediator from Maryland
Yesterday's menu:
breakfast: banana and toast
lunch: thai chicken soup
dinner: quesadillas
