Trees Are The Key

Awareness Week

18-24 March 2024

There’s no sense in destroying the forests, none at all. It’s insanity! Can you make All Big Business join your awareness week to have some sense driven into them?

Charles Weston

I spend as much time in the quiet presence of the trees in my garden as I can and I’m reminded that even in solitude, there is a hidden power and I draw so much from that quiet time.

Ollie Anderson

I find the quiet companionship of trees gives me deep solace when I'm alone. It’s also a source of endless inspiration when I'm with my husband. The silent strength and grace of trees reminds me of the extraordinary beauty in the simple act of being amongst them.

Sophia Rodriguez

When I walk amongst the trees I feel totally boosted by the sense of wonder that floods my heart. It’s almost as if every leaf is literally whispering to me!

Andi Carson

When I’m running in the park, I feel like with every breath of air I draw in, I feel fed and replenished. It’s like the very essence of life is lifting me higher and pushing me on.

Charlie Taylor

I’m planning to take the family to one of the national forests this week. We love them! The kids get to run themselves ragged and I drink in the profound sense of upliftment just being around those amazing towering trees.

Olivia Thompson

The biodiversity harboured within the world’s forests is irreplaceable. Trees offer vital habitats for countless species and it’s really depressing to hear so many creatures are on the decline because of some greedy humans who are still hell bent on deforestation and the destruction of the natural world.

Ben Merton

Birds love trees. I love them too. I cannot imagine my life without them and I don’t want to.

Andy Mason

I don’t afford myself enough time to chill out in the forest but when I do, the whispers of leaves and the rustle of branches speak volumes to me. They echo the stories of generations past and inspire dreams of a future intertwined with the rhythms of the natural world.

Scarlet Thompson

Towering trees uplift me and their branches reaching for the sky are a reminder that growth knows no bounds.

Joseph Harris

Whenever I’m in the presence of trees, I can't help but feel a profound sense of connection to Mother Nature's wisdom, reminding me that growth, resilience and beauty can thrive even in the harshest of environments.

Marcus Santos

The buzz that you get from being near trees is immense. I’m always uplifted by the sense of peace that fills my soul. I made a decision earlier this year to spend more time around trees. They’re like the best free medicine!

Alexander Jones

I remember as a kid going down the park after school and getting filthy from climbing trees and messing around with my mates. I’d give anything to be able to climb one again but the memories of it will never leave my head and that will do nicely.

Eddie Jonson

The forests were here before us and they will endure long after we are gone. Ancient woodlands hold the secret of serenity; we would do well to try to understand the pace of life for trees. In all of our hurry and bustle, it is good to spend time among the trees and just... breathe.

Simon West

When we got married, our friends and family paid for a little forest to be planted in Kenya to commemorate our connection with each other and our beautiful planet. It’s a little legacy and I’m chuffed to think it’ll long outlive us both.

Tracey West

With every step I take into our local woods, I feel comforted and calmed at the same time. It’s almost as if the earth itself is walking alongside me, lifting my worries away.

Mia Martin

My day to day is way too busy with the bustling noise of modern life. But the serenity I find beneath the canopy of trees gives me solace and invites creativity. It’s like a rekindling of my spirit.

Ethan Nguyen

I’ve always appreciated the fact that forests are the lungs of our planet. Beside what they do for Earth though, I need them personally to centre myself and to feel a proper connection to nature.

Mary North

I feel that trees stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time. Their steadfast presence is a reminder that amidst life's chaos, there exists a sanctuary of peace and renewal. This week, I intend to seek out more of that inner peace around trees.

Ava Lee

We all know that forests are vital for the health and well-being of everything and everyone. I’m using my time on the planet to reinforce that message and to protect trees in as many places as I can.

Pia Walker

Mother Nature is phenomenal. Trees and forests are some of her finest creations and I seriously don’t understand why more of the world’s governments don’t have measures in place to protect them. Why is the Amazon being devastated? There’s no sense in it. We must do more to protect trees everywhere.
