Did you know that plants and trees don't need oxygen so they expel it for us to use? They do this through photosynthesis when they take in energy from the sun and convert it to chemical energy. Plants are great.
AND...
Happy Birthday to my lovely, ninety-one year old aunt. You wear it well.
I knew that as well.
ReplyDeleteThumbs up on the factoid barometer.
DeleteAnd that is why the burning of the Amazon rain forest is such a travesty. Even 3% more and it could mean we will no longer be able to recover. If this happens we will go the way of the dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteIt is just so frustrating. The entire world is going to suffer and time is our enemy.
DeleteForgot to wish your Aunt Norma a very happy birthday. Happy 91st birthday Norma.

ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Thanks for the bday wishes to my aunt, Yvonne. She's amazing.
DeleteThat I knew, always good to have the plants around.
ReplyDeleteThumbs up.
DeleteIt's good that they do that. Our ecosystem was originally well balanced, until mankind started altering things (animals going extinct because of us killing them, etc.).
ReplyDeleteI hate that. I've never understood the desire or need to kill.
DeleteHappy birthday to your aunt! Thanks for this important reminder on the importance of trees and plants.
ReplyDeleteThey sure are, aren't they, Christine? The trees also suck up and store the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as you probably already know.
DeletePlease send an email about oxygen to the Brazilian President.
ReplyDeleteI would in a heartbeat if I thought it would do any good.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Auntie Norma! 🎈🎁🎂🌺

DeleteHappy Birthday to your beautiful Aunt. That duck needs to go to that dumb ass Brazilian president and make a stop at the White House as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Birgit.

Frank is only interested in locust these days. They make the most interesting sounds when poked:)
DeleteThanks for Norma's bday wishes, FSG:)
I thank plants daily and try not to eat too many vegetables and fruits. My way of honoring them.
ReplyDeleteSince I don't eat meat and you don't eat veggies and fruits, we'd be in trouble if we blended our eating habits:)
DeleteI just learned tonight that Trump has given away our logging rights (to keep the forest pristine) in Alaska. Now the loggers can deforest Alaska, like the Brazilian president is burning the Amazon. The mighty dollar is far greater than the eco-system in Trump's world.
ReplyDeleteACK!!!!!!!!!
