How many trees?
How many trees does it take
To make a human being?
How many fields to fill our stomachs
So we can go on breathing?
How many creatures lie
Under our tarmac roads?
How many deaths will it take
Before the planet implodes?
Yes – how many trees does it take?

There are currently approaching 8 billion of us on this planet and each one of us is busy consuming – consuming land, water, air, finite mineral resources and killing plants and animals. Just by living.
The planet is not infinite. It is a finite web of life – tenuous and fragile.
We are a catastrophe.
