Disrespected, Abused and Humiliated

Unnecessary Destruction of Trees Needs to Stop

It frustrates me but I see this kind of thing all the time. It really is everywhere and I cannot understand it. 

• Why do people destroy trees?
• How could they possibly benefit from it?
• Should people be penalized for damaging the environment?
• What penalty should they receive?

Most importantly

• How do we stop it?

When a puppy pees on the carpet we smack it and rub its nose in it. Do we need to do the same with the corporate world? 

Do we need to shame them into being good neighbours?

Was the presence of these trees driving away business? 

Could the owner not come up with a more creative solution to solve the perceived problem?

It actually took planning and effort to make this happen.

Does the direction come from head office? Is it company policy to not care about the environment?

Hey A&W  You Should Fix This

Trees are more important than you seem to realize. 

They clean the air, water and the soil. They provide shelter for animals including humans. They are important for our sense of place and shape the way we feel about our community. 

Caring for trees means caring for your neighbours. 

It means caring for your customers.

We are all in this together and we all need to do our part.

 You just dropped the ball. 

Pick it up.
