The growing of urban trees is probably one of the indicators that the general population and indeed the government has discovered that it is their responsibility to take care of the gifts that have been given to us by the creator through the auspices of nature. The question we should be asking is whether we have realized our responsibility when things have already come to a head and have ended up in being a little too late to save the situation. So instead of lauding governments around the world and other citizens for finally realizing their duty and responsibility, perhaps we should be lamenting the fact that this happened very late and that possibly there is nothing we can do that will take us out of the dangerous road that we are treading. This is one of the arguments that have been fronted to environmentalists and politicians the world over. Regardless of the fact that we may be in reality too late to do anything, it still rests upon us to do something about the environment.
