Our lives are brought together by the things we have in common. We share friendships that have no boundaries. We see things that are truly unique, and things that are the same. Here we will knit together the strands we share...
Bah! I hate it when they tear down trees. Some housing project was supposed to go up near my parents' home. They took down the trees, but never built anything.
I hate that! And they always promise to put in new trees. But when they do, becasue they have disturbed the earth so much, the trees don't grow! So you now have a treeless grassland. Yuck!
I live in a rapidly growing midwestern town, so there IS a need for the houses that are getting built back there... but did they have to get rid of EVERY SINGLE tree???
Gosh, Hot Librarian. When I look at your subdivision it looks remarkably like the new one. Could there have been trees there once too? I'm betting there were.
I'm very much a naturephile and just as interested in saving trees as anyone else. Let's put our own money where our mouths are, though. If more of us lived in higher-density neighborhoods we could really save some trees.
The rules are few and simple. Is there something where you live that is unique? Something so ordinary it demands your attention? Our worlds might be more similar than we know.... Think photo-journalism meets scavenger hunt... Join the blog, post about your neighborhood in the real world. We will follow. I post a picture of a water tower. You scour your neck of the woods for a water tower. You post your favorite teddy bear, we dig through old boxes in search of our old teddy bears... Wanna play? Email me at mommymoshpit at yahoo dot com and join in on the fun!

where do you live? I am always sad to see so much tree loss especially since there probably aren't even enough people to fill them.

that's what happens when you live in a subdivision... if you want trees, go buy 20 acres and then you can have some trees!
