Just Imagine.

URBAN lakes; FOREST reserves

The earth is not a huge clump of metal. Trees instead of poles Mountains instead of buildings Rivers instead of roads Boulders instead of cars Flowers instead of litter Grass instead of stores Forests instead of parking lots Sunsets instead of smog Oceans instead of cities Lakes instead of concrete Dolphins instead of ships Meadows instead of machines Mechanical things devour the earth like a fox hunts a rabbit, making their own islands while crumpling the world to pieces. The trees give us their shade with kindness while all we see is an ax. [Extracted from the article]
