About Tree Huggers
The one of many purposes of founding the Tree Huggers of America is to educate the consumerized, or brainwashed public, regarding the numerous, easily and cheaply available alternatives, to live a sustainable environmentally safe and friendly life. We feel it is humanity’s absolute responsibility to protect and preserve our one and only home, Planet Earth for the next generation, our angels of children, and our grand children.
We must all understand that the environmental consequences of our activities have already caught up with us and there is no more time to procrastinate. Unlike what is portrayed on almost all of the Environmental documentaries, Planet Earth is not in any danger, we are, after humanity destroyed itself, Planet Earth will recover, without any help form any of us. - The absolute truth is that WE, the humanity are in danger of annihilating ourselves. Please join, and help us, to help ourselves.
We seek to form partnership with those who feel the same and understand that Planet Earth is not disposable, and must be preserved and protected. Our first goal is to educate the public regarding the harmful use of PLASTIC in general and to eliminate the plastic bag use as our first goal and offer a safe, long lasting canvas tote bags, as an alternative, encouraging businesses, stores and shopkeepers to stop given out plastic shopping bags. - To achieve our first goal, we need your tax-deductible financial contributions, and any other help you, and your organization can provide to spread this vital message.
The phrase; - Throw Away - is the most misleading and damaging phrase in the English language. Where is - Away -? We, the humankind have one Home, Earth, one water, one air, one soil, and one universal common sense, there is no - Away -. Whatever we put into our soil, air and water will harm all of us, and it will never go away, rather it becomes a permanent damaging part of Earth’s environment. Next time you used the phrase; - Throw Away -, think about it, and do not - Throw Away -, rather reuse and recycle. And remember, reform begins with oneself.
Try to imagine if your home, your loved ones and all of your possessions were on fire, what are you going to do? Are you going to call an architect and interior decorator to form a blue ribbon discussion panel, while your life is going up in smoke, or perhaps use your common sense and call your local fire department? - Our home, Planet Earth is on fire, burning in the flames of Global Warming fast. The criminal nation-less corporations who started the fire know that too. The reason they are not doing anything and just giving the public a cheap and useless lip service is because they are hoping for more chaotic conditions to shift the blame from them selves to others. - Become a tree hugger, become a firefighter, now, while there is still time.
The GOOD NEWS is that we still have a brief window of time and opportunity to reverse our path of greed and destruction. The time to act is now. We must boycott the greedy environmental violators and support the environmental friendly movements and actions. There are plenty that each and every one of us can do right now. - Tiny inexpensive modifications in our self-destructive behaviors and taking small actions could potentially protect and save our one and only home, Planet Earth and us, the humankind whose survival is completely depends upon the health and well being of the host, Planet Earth.
One must always be vigilant and persistent, in matters of one's well-being; health, family and home, therefore be vigilant and persistent in looking after what is really important, spread the message of love, care and responsible living, tell others and never take our home, Planet Earth for grunted. - All politics are local. We, the people, must learn to think globally, but act locally. We should never forget that reform always begins with oneself. - The waves, spirit and inspiration of reform can only be radiated, advanced and spread by, and through those who have already reformed themselves.
Keep in mind that silence solves nothing, it never has, and it never will. Our silence will encourage more environmental devastation, violence and corruption at all levels, all over the world. Our silence will help to defeat and silent the peaceful ethical voices of reason and common sense. - It is our civic duty and moral obligation, to get involved and never be silent, to solve our many problems, by simply casting the light of truth and exposing the source of the problem, followed by enlightening educational measures to solve the problem through a peaceful conflict resolution.
There are only 2 ways of spreading the light of truth and hope, either to be the source of light, truth and hope, The Projector, or be The Mirror, that spreads and reflects the light of truth and hope to others, which one are you?
Next time you see the angelic smile of sweet, innocent little angels, our children, running around, growing up in this world, stop and think for just 1 minute, think about what kind of a polluted Home, we are raising them in, and the Home we are leaving behind for them. - We have become a threat to our own species and we must reverse it, before we reach the point of no return, the year 2018, or face the end of us, the humanity.

Definition of Greed:
Greed is idiotically short sighted, greed is unreliable, greed
is highly selfish, greed is blind, greed is destructive, greed
is criminal, greed knows no limit, greed is endless and unethical.
Greed's endless criminal selfishness, competition, Global Warring
and Global Warming has brought humankind to the brink of self-annihilation.
- Greed could be best describe as one's excessive desire to
acquire, or possess more than what one needs and deserves, especially
with respect to material wealth and worldly possessions. - Greed
grows in the absence of common sense, moral and ethical standards,
which leads to suppressing the urge in one's conscience to prefer
doing right, over wrong. - Many believe, as I do, and attach
to competition, the stigma of selfish greed. Humanity must choose
Cooperation for survival instead of Competition, in order to
stop greed in its tracks and bring humanity closer together
out of the danger zone of self-annihilation.
Definition of Boycott:
Boycott, is an inherent right of the public to come together
in unity abstaining from buying, using and or dealing with
merchants of greed and perpetrators of destructive environmental,
social, economic and political practices currently plaguing
the whole of humanity. Boycott, is an instrument of gaining
political grounds and objectives. - Boycott, is an expression
of non-violent and constructive means of protest to peacefully
correct and replace the destructive environmental, social,
economic and political practices with wide-range of all encompassing
prospers policies and procedures.
Definition of Unity:
To unite is to bring together so as to form a whole, or demonstrate
in combination, or a combined group of people, sharing common
interest, attitude, or action: the love that unites humanity.
To become, or seem to become joined, formed, or combined
into a unit, to join and act together in a common purpose,
or endeavor, to be or become bound together by adhesion.
To put or bring into an association, or relationship
joined by common bond of humanity, to meet and merge with,
to join forces, to connect, to become a part, or member
of a club, or group, or a committee to participate with
others in an act, or activity.
Definition of Politics:
Politics is the art and science of managing or governing one's
entire social and economic affairs interactively in conjunction
with the rest of the community, especially the collective governing
of a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration
and control of its internal and external relationships. Politics
is the activity and interaction engaged in by any given society's
citizens, to build community and establish communal services for
all. Politics is the maneuvering methods and tactics involved
in managing any given society or state government. A politician
is an individual, holding an intriguing and rewarding career of
public service that honorably discharges hers or his duties in
an ethical and caring manner.
Sincerely,
Bahram Maskanian

Hi,
Are you aware the term "tree hugger" was first used by the "Chipko Undula" movement in India where people went into the forest and literally hugged the trees in the face of the chain saws?
Their theme song goes:
Chipko Undula
Don't cut the forest down
Tall trees bring clean water
Roots go deep in the earth
Hold the soil down...
We did a tape of the song during the fight to save Clayoquot sound here in BC in 1993 (with 800 arrests). Some of the Indian activists taught it to us.
