Earth Day 20 will be celebrated on Sunday, April 22. About 100 million 
people all over the world are expected to take part and pledge to make
the earth a healthier planet. 
If UNIX-users of the world were to each plant a tree on Earth Day and
cared for it until it matured, it could conceivably cut Global Warming
by about 50% within a few years. Plant a tree. Too much of a
hassle? Maybe this poem by JOYCE KILMER will inspire you.


		TREES

	I think that I shall never see
	A poem lovely as a tree

	A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
	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.
	
Happy Earth Day!
