TREES
by: Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)

I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

please say

NO

to receipts at ATM's and gas pumps!

all of that paper for the receipts comes from

TREES!

beautiful trees.....

i did some research and could not find consistent statistics (try saying that 5 times fast),

but one thing is for sure.......

the statistics are staggering.

there are something like 8 billion ATM transactions a year!

which adds up to a roll of paper more than 2 billion feet long,

or enough to circle the globe 15 times!

you really don't need that receipt.

save the paper=save the trees=reduce waste.
