    also Here in the south, or at least in bama, there is lots of problems with Kudzu taking over entire forests, because it has no natural predators around here, and that sucks, I love forests. I think we should all live in trees like monkeys.

    considering what we do to trees anyway, i dont think living in them would be a good idea! i think we should just leave them alone (of course sitll hang out with them!) but dont do tests on them and cut them down and do weird stuff to them

    Once I hugged a tree by accident playing football. Does that count? I love trees , especially trees in a grave yard. There is something differnt about them.

    You know how there've been studies that show that plants grow better if you talk to them or play soothing music for them? Well, since they don't have ears to hear with, that must mean that they feel the vibrations on their leaves, stems/trunks, etc. Isn't that cool? When you talk to them or sing to them you are really massaging them with the sound of your voice! That's so beautiful and intimate...just you and your plant :D .

    There's a province in south portugal named alentejo. It's basically a semi-desert. It's just beautiful, and I only find there my favourite trees, wich are in this picture, down here. They're 3 meter long, maximum. Just beautiful. [​IMG]

    This is the Old Oak Tree who stands as sentinel at the path to our cabin. I have patted this tree, and even travelled from root to top branch as I merged with it a few times... It's a very mellow Oak.

    I love trees. And yes Nathan, I know what you're saying about how they have a lot more going on than is common knowledge. I talk to trees, I hug them, I climb them, I sit with them, I appreciate them... trees are awesome

    =0) Im new to this place. So Hi there, To all the Treehuggers and Treelovers out there. It's so great to know that there are so many others that share such a positive green energy vibe. The wise old Oak tree can teach us all about love and respect. I hear the music ...... when the wind blows through the tree limbs and the leaves dance. A tree will stand tall and shelter you. Trees have so much life and love to give. We should do the same for them and each other. I can see the good ! Does anyone else ?

    Singing also helps... I sung 'Yellow Submarine' to my beans and it helped them grow faster! But then those damn snails came along and ate them all up! Grrrr...

    Anyway, yeah, I 'hug' trees!...Never actually talked to one...I should try that...I know it sounds nuts, but when I hug a tree, it feels like I'm a hugging an old soul....a living piece of history...very comforting...

    Ok, no more coffee for me...lol

    Trees will never fight, trees will never lie......
    For they are Gaias gift ,and day by day they are being destroyed beacuse of Humanitys great disire for paper products, when they could simply just use hemp in replacment of trees........?????? I think thats a pretty good point

    Trees are your friends, they are your mothers and fathers, They are your lovers
    And deserve the same respect as any other living thing does ( unless your a dirty, greedy, corprate fuck!)
    Hug them kiss them talk to them , they are your friend

    I think that talking to trees is cute... I mean I don't do it... but i think it's cute and that you should talk to trees because they need to have someone speak to them too or else they can feel left out... talk to them... awwwww how cute:)

    yes, i i treat trees like one of us. :)

    actually, when i was really little, i used to worship a tree.... it was a willow tree, kinda like a cross between a goddess and a mother to me... then they chopped her down, it was one of the saddest days of my life.

    lol, i havn't told a whole lotta peeps this...
