"Noooo! They're cutting down the trees!!!!!!!"

Let me explain: in our uni hall, where we live is situated outside a church, with a mini forest in between. At the start of fresher's week, I thought, "This is crap, all I can see are branches" - but over time I got used to it, and actually appreciated it - the trees acted as a "barrier" between a small path and the windows outside our rooms.

Anyway, today they're sawing the trees down, using chainsaws, ropes, etc....and seeing a full grown tree cut down metres away from you is a sorry sight. OK, they were old and most of them were dying, but it's surprising that I'm going to miss them now.

It also means our room windows will be vulnerable to any kid with a pocket full of stones,... but that's something for the future.

For now, let us mourn.... the death of my uni hall trees.

For the funnies, you could plant some of those mexican fighting trees.

They'd sure get a shock when they were fully grown.

For every tree they cut-down, why not just bury your own?

All you need is something like an apple, and you're set (once you've dug a hole). Bury several of them close-together, wait a good 10-years-plus, and there you go; some nice, tall trees to look at, again. :)

Or, you could donate money to one of of those companies claiming you can plant a tree in their forest...

I believe the Foo Fighters have one you can join on-line, somewhere.

No. I don't oen the trees (or the land), so I can' tell them what to do.

"WHAt THE F**K HAVE YOU DONE TO MY TREES!"

*Respectfully bowing head

Just put a bonsai tree on your windowledge, look at it from the right perspective and voila! Your tree's back again!



Or you could just get over it :P
