Did You Know

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.

And 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.

Forgot to wish your Aunt Norma a very happy birthday. Happy 91st birthday Norma.

That I knew, always good to have the plants around.

It'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.).

Christine said...

Happy birthday to your aunt! Thanks for this important reminder on the importance of trees and plants.

Sandra Cox said...

Thumbs up.

Sandra Cox said...

They sure are, aren't they, Christine? The trees also suck up and store the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as you probably already know.

Sandra Cox said...

Thank you, Birgit.
Isn't that the truth? It's all about the money and the future be damned.

Sandra Cox said...

A factoid for ya:)
Thanks for the birthday and weekend wishes:)

Sandra Cox said...

It is just so frustrating. The entire world is going to suffer and time is our enemy.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks for Norma's bday wishes.

Computer Tutor said...

I thank plants daily and try not to eat too many vegetables and fruits. My way of honoring them.

Sandra Cox said...

Thumbs up on the factoid barometer.

Frank is only interested in locust these days. They make the most interesting sounds when poked:)
Thanks for Norma's bday wishes, FSG:)

Sandra Cox said...

Since I don't eat meat and you don't eat veggies and fruits, we'd be in trouble if we blended our eating habits:)

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks for Norma's bday wishes, Ro dear.
Hugs received and returned.

Sandra Cox said...

I hate that. I've never understood the desire or need to kill.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks for her bday wishes, CJ:)

Sandra Cox said...

I would in a heartbeat if I thought it would do any good.

I 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.
