Earthjunk encourages you to take a walk amongst the trees and consult with nature before buying new furniture. When we are aware of nature’s processes and see ourselves as part of the whole, we realize our responsibility to recycle earth’s limited resources.
A Poem by John Wright
Let the trees be consulted before you take any action
every time you breathe in thank a tree
let the treeroots crack parking lots at world bank headquarters
let the loggers be druids specially trained and rewarded to sacrifice trees at suspicious times
let carpenters be master artisans
let lumber be treasured like gold
let chainsaws be played like saxophones
let soldiers on maneuvers plant trees
give police and criminals a shovel and a thousand seedlings
let businesmen carry pocketfuls of acorns
let newlyweds honeymoon in the woods
walk don’t drive
stop reading newspapers
stop writing poetry
squat under a tree and tell stories ©John Wright
