My Hug 100 Trees Challenge

[AV1611VET]

Hug 100 Trees To Save The Rainforests!

Trees are essential for all life on our planet. Rainforests provide habitat for over 50% of all the species on Earth, and safely store hundreds of billions of tonnes of carbon, helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Put simply, we couldn’t survive without trees – so why not show them some love and Hug 100 Trees for the rainforests!

Hug 100 Trees is a fun, family-friendly way to connect with nature near your home – and support rainforest protection at the same time. It’s also a great way for kids of all ages to get close to nature and play their part in protecting our planet! You can hug any trees you like – in your local park, a nearby woodland, a beautiful forest, your garden, even in the street! You can hug all your 100 trees on the same day, or spread your tree-hugging over days or weeks. The only rule is that you must hug 100 different trees!

I prefer to plant trees instead of hugging them.

How does hugging a tree help it at all and how does this save rainforests?

 

[AV1611VET]

I prefer to plant trees instead of hugging them.

You can do both!

It doesn't help the tree, it helps you.

It helps you to develop a deeper mindset that trees are living entities too.

And by doing that, you just may want to go out and plant trees, so you can have your own "tree family."

Here's a suggestion:

Plant ten trees (or shrubs) on your own property, and give them names.

Then go talk to them daily about they doing their part to close the ozone layer and stop this global warming crisis we're about to experience.

What could go wrong?

 

[FireDragon76]

Nothing wrong with trees. I often prefer their company.

I’m renting and my yard is tiny so I doubt my landlord would allow them to grow.

Let 'em know.

Your landlord must hate the earth then?

Hugging trees has a way of internally making a person feel more connected to them. The result is more of an openness to do things differently for their benefit which has an interesting way of circling around to everyone's benefit that even reach to the rain forest. We don't have to go all the way to South America to save rain forest. Here in the Northwest for example we do have rain forest that are disappearing by logging.

So... what's the 'challenge' then?

 

[durangodawood]

Im more of a tree sniffer. Our pine trees here smell like vanilla.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Im more of a tree sniffer. Our pine trees here smell like vanilla.

Oh, I remember the smell of pine cones that came from behind our house before the council had them and the old lot they were in to make way for a housing estate.

 

[AV1611VET]

So... what's the 'challenge' then?

Get out there and hug and plant, hug and plant, hug and plant.

And as the OP stipulates, 'even in the street.'

 

[AV1611VET]

You can do both.

Like hugging your wife, when she has Chanel N⁰5 on.

 

[AV1611VET]

Yup.

Trees have been abused over the decades.

And it's time we apologized to them, don't you think?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Get out there and hug and plant, hug and plant, hug and plant.

And as the OP stipulates, 'even in the street.'

You really don't get what a challenge is, do you?

Yup.

Trees have been abused over the decades.

And it's time we apologized to them, don't you think?

... Not at all. Trees are non-sentient things. I'll as soon apologize to a tree as I'll get an opinion from a stone about war.

 

[Lost4words]

I have 'watered' 100's of trees in my life time!! Every time i go out for a walk i do this!!

 

[AV1611VET]

This one's a doosey, isn't it?

Not at all. Trees are non-sentient things. I'll as soon apologize to a tree as I'll get an opinion from a stone about war.

Wha ... why do you hate the environment so much?

Nature provides for her own, doesn't she?

Even squirrels plant oak trees!
