planting a tree is not too difficult, if you paid attention to the briefing well.
- find stick marker by dug hole
- remove plastic bag from seedling base
- place seedling into hole, leaf side up
- replace soil into hole, making sure not to go beyond the seedling's "soil level" - there's a scientific explanation to this
- lightly pack replaced soil with your foot
- place torn plastic bag on stick marker or get fined P500 and dig out seedling again
nothing to it! together with the staff of m.u.b., we were able to plant a total of 400 trees today. that's practically a mini-forest! i've always considered myself a closet environmentalist, so this activity totally appeals to me. today was a "feel good" day. i look forward to doing it again... and again... and again.
let's see... i have about 4 adopted trees to my name at the la mesa watershed. they say that it takes 10 trees to clean the pollution emitted by 1 car. with all the trees we planted today, i can drive my car in peace for now.
