Our world's ecological debt is not sensitive to what boundaries we have drawn for ourselves upon the earth. What we owe nature nature expects us to pay together.
Nature is patient.
And her patience she invests...
in her green, growing trees.
Cut a few down - let's -
build a few towns and cities.
That's all very well.
Cut enough trees - and -
nature becomes impatient
and reminds with care.
Cut too many trees -
she becomes tempestuous
unleashing herself.
What was built,
she takes back.

Nature's patience she invests in her trees.
Do you know how long it takes to grow a tree?
Do you know the care it takes to grow a forest?
Give justice to our forests. Bring peace to our trees.
