Today we celebrate World Tree Day, but more than celebrating these magnificent green creatures, we urgently need to reflect on our relationship with nature. We live in a critical moment where the survival of the planet depends directly on our choices and commitments to environmental preservation.
Preservation is not just a choice, it’s a fundamental necessity that we must all understand and act upon.
We need to realise that each individual action contributes to a collective impact. Planting a tree, protecting a green space, making people around us aware of the importance of environmental conservation are gestures that may seem small, but which carry immense transformative potential.
Our individual responsibility goes beyond applauding environmental initiatives. We need to act, change paradigms, question economic models that favour immediate profit over the health of the planet. We need to create a new culture of respect and care for natural resources.
World Tree Day should be a time for deep reflection: how can we improve our lifestyle to embrace the well-being of nature? The choice is ours, and it happens every day, with every decision we make.
Preserve. Respect. Transform.
