From small acorns do big acorns grow... isn't that what they say about acorns?
All I know is that we shouldn't waste them - they don't grow on trees you know!
There is a global acorn crisis happening right now, right here, right now, and no one seems to care or even know.
You ask, "What can I do to help ?" You also ask, "Isn't it too little, too late?", and then perhaps you go on to further comment that, "What's the point anyway? I'm just one person in this big 'ol crazy mixed up world. Just one acorn on the grass knoll of the universe, just trying to get along..." but perhaps by that point no one is listening.
But anyway, the answer is simple - pick up an acorn, put it slightly under the ground (between 1cm and 1 meter is about right), wait 20 years and Bob's your uncle a whole tree of acorns!
Isn't nature just wunnerful?
Tomorrow , back to the grim reality of life in the early and confused years of the 21st century...
