In Japan, trees aren’t seen as obstacles they’re honored as living beings. 🌳🇯🇵 When it’s time to build roads, they don’t cut trees down they move them. Using a traditional method called “Nemawashi,” the roots are gently prepared before relocation, allowing the tree to survive and thrive in its new home. It’s a powerful reminder that progress doesn’t have to come at nature’s expense it can grow alongside it.

The Trump administration has made a move to log 112 million acres of our national forests! 🤬 Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins issued an order today that would open up 112 million acres of our national forests to logging by private corporations. The order would also gut environmental protections for forests and endangered species in the process. The Trump administration says this will prevent wildfires, but it's clearly a giveaway to logging corporations. If they really cared about preventing wildfires, they wouldn't be slashing departmental budgets and chaotically firing wildfire prevention staff 🔗 https://t.co/MFEgbA17hu
