| Anonymous Coward User ID: 68832495  Australia04/05/2015 04:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For 10 Years, this Blind Man and His Armless Friend have Planted 10,000 Trees to help revive the once-barren environment around Yeli Village in northeast China. Quoting: grumpier Although we - as a collective - have more than previous generations could have ever dreamed of, the majority of us are quick to make excuses when it comes to doing ‘work' we are less than inspired by. Take out the trash? Nah, pass. Walk the dog? Nah, she'll be fine. Plant a tree? No, too busy. On and on, excuses to avoid activities which are necessary for an orderly environment and collaborative world to exist are quick to be offered by many in our society. …Which is why this story of a blind man named Jia Haixia and his friend, a double amputee with no arms named Jia Wengi, is fascinating and beyond inspiring. more....and pictures to prove it: [link to www.bibliotecapleyades.net] :take care:  |

Was it a hard job? Did you use machinery in this process? If you go back to that place, is it changed for the better? You know , that kind of questions. Please tell us all about it.

| beeches User ID: 28167778 United States04/05/2015 07:58 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | with a handle like beeches, you know I care for trees. Beech trees especially. Planted 3 Juneberry trees last summer. They will be blossoming very soon, they put out mature fruit in June. I am looking at hybrid poplars and white pines. Will join the arbor society to get some for free, the juneberries were around 120 dollars a pop, and I planted them myself, with different helpers for each tree. the hybrid poplars are supposed to be astounding. I grew up with a row of poplars. We transplanted a TULIP poplar (paid to have it done) that thing is almost 2 stories high in a few years. Like they say, if you plant a tulip poplar, be sure to tuck your chin so it won't be hit as the thing grows. Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |

Wow that's cool man, wish I were that smart. since when did propaganda change its name to information? Since when did a human interest story about 2 disabled men who took it upon themselves to plant trees to keep their village from flooding become propaganda? |
