The Green Olympics

Keep our planet green, There is an ancient forest, Let’s cut down the trees! © Demetrios Trifiatis 11 September 2015 NOTE: Yesterday, I received an e-mail from Dalia Hashad-Avaaz org, informing me that “A 500 year old forest is being clear cut to make way for Olympic ski facilities that will be used for a four day competition! The International Olympic Committee has mandated these games as "Green Olympics", let's hold them to it and save the ancient forest.” Join this urgent campaign and Avaaz will deliver our voices directly to the Olympic Committee offices. Sign then share on Facebook, Twitter, email...everywhere: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/save_ancient_korean_forest_loc/?tZjCkib I have already shared it on facebook.

Well done Demi!! I too wrote a senryu on the same subject inspired by Avaaz. Hopefully more people will sign the petition; at least the project might be down-sized. All the best. // paul

Thank you my friend, Paul, for informing me of your writing on the same subject. It makes me happy to see more people care, for usually do not! Each time I write on something important less and less people visit but that is fine. We have to care and fight for something nobler and kinder it doesn't matter how many we are. Thank you again for your precious visit and kind comment. God bless you!
