Can we tell you a bit about the power of fruit trees?? Fruit-Tree Saturday is a simple, easy, and uncontroversial way for us to promote unity and a sense of community throughout the world in addition to combating climate change, bettering the conditions of life, and increasing the available supply of healthy foods. The idea is that on the third Saturday of every March, ideally sometime during the morning, everyone around the world who is able will go out and plant a fruit tree of their choice (or donate to an organization that supports agriculture if this is not possible).
Never has all the world been united around a single purpose, but this plan can change this. Unity and common purpose is of supreme importance for it is the key to universal peace and prosperity. Indeed, our world is flush with resources and can abundantly support all life herein, but the divisions we have created and the animosity that has festered throughout the centuries has made it so there are still those among us who fight just to have enough to eat.. Indeed, this is beyond unfortunate but with this small but good deed, we can take a significant and meaningful step towards building unity and reducing division.
Moreover, with widespread participation, we will have hundreds of millions of new trees helping to capture the carbon we pollute into our atmosphere, thereby providing help in the fight against climate change. These new trees will also support the lives of insects, birds, and other animals in addition to yielding us millions of pounds of healthy and fresh food, making it easier for us to live healthy lives as well as feed our hungry brothers and sisters.
This is all very, very good -but it gets even better.. Though be it a relatively small sacrifice for one to take time out of his or her day to plant a tree, it is indeed still a sacrifice, and whenever one sacrifices for the sake of the greater good, one increases in virtue. This is of utmost importance because lack of virtue is the greatest threat humanity faces, as well as the ultimate source of almost every single problem that plagues mankind. Hence, this may be the most important thing We can possibly ever say to you: the widespread practice of virtue -from political leaders, to religious leaders, to business leaders, to the masses of men, women, and children- will without a doubt produce a world in which all enjoy Liberty, Justice, Peace, and Prosperity. So, with that said, Brothers and Sisters, let us all endeavor to lead virtuous lives and let us plant fruit trees on the third Saturday of March!!
