Today is your day Boomer! You got to like it Boomers; we lost so many trees this summer to forest fires that we need more action on replanting trees! And who better to do it but young people...the kids and students of our world who will be around in 50 years to benefit. So, a group of Okanagan middle school students replanted pine and fir trees in Kelowna last weekend....the general area of a big fire. The students belong to The Better World Club; what a great name, and one of them said “Planting trees gives me hope that we can change the world one tree at a time. After all, we are the re-wilding generation.” That's a cool expression: "re-wilding". Another student said “The main reason I did this today is because we all just need a little bit of hope." Wow, you know....we always get truth and great perspective from kids. By the way, my family planted four new trees in our backyard in the past year. How about you Boomers? Cheers!
