Hi teeni – so good to see you here again. I’ve been unmotivated to write anything and blog action day just made it easier to write on the topic that affects all of us. I hate having to clean up also, my yard has 10 huge mature trees but none of them is a fruit tree.. so I have a yard full of leaves – every single day :)

I’ll be visiting your blog soon!

@DocumentS – Of course it is.. and hope you planted a fruit tree..

I suggest you plant a sour cherry tree. “Montmorency” Will require little to no work. When it’s dormant all you need to do is trim the top to keep it from getting too tall.
A pear tree might work but stay away from the apple and peach trees unless you plan on spraying all the time.

Okay, I planted a tree. I’m surrounded by trees and the leaves are falling. Isn’t it really our responsibility to take care of our surroundings weather it be our back yard or the earth we live on.

Hi Pearl! I’ve missed your posts! This is a great one. I love the idea of planting some fruit trees which will benefit you AND the planet. I have been planting some berry bushes lately and I think if anyone cuts a tree down for the holidays they should also plant on planting a tree in the good weather to make up for it. I’m starting to sound like a tree hugger now. But I guess I do like trees, just not the cleanup in Fall! LOL. Good to see you!

“some people were upset and questioned why US has to be concerned about climatic changes in the rest of the world” – seriously?! How can people be so ignorant and selfish.

Nice to see more and more people bringing up this topic, I myself started a few years ago to think about at leeast a few things every day that I could do for a better enviroment. Not big stuff, just small things.. but atleast it’s something!

Cheers!

Hi Adam.. So nice of you to say those words.. I’ve been struggling part laziness and part depression so along with full time job and a bit of social media interaction, haven’t been doing much online lately. And twitter doesn’t help either.. :)

I’m really glad for the blog action day project as it forces me to take the time and read on these important issues, else I’d keep going through life like a zombie.. seriously. I think everyone should plant some fruit trees in their yard. I haven’t bought them but that site looks pretty neat and I might order some this weekend too.

nice avatar btw :)

I am sure there are plenty of readers out there Pearl. Everytime you post..be it monthly or weekly I see an update in my stream. When you don’t post as often, it almost insures that you will have more to say…or maybe I am just using that that to justify my own lack of blogging as well.

At least you managed a Blog Action day post, more than I can say for myself.

Do plants some trees Pearl, I ordered about a dozen trees and bushes from http://www.arborday.org/ to include some fruit and nut trees.
I fully believe that the act locally think globally philosophy needs to be practiced and embraced by all of us.
