Tree leaves help create paradise

Tree leaves in a forest produce moisture, and that moisture accumulates into air and entices rain. This process is called “transpiration.” That’s how planting trees can replenish, de-desertify, and bring life into barren lands.

Distinction between a population and an individual

IDEAL SOCIETY to make us all happier

(Opinions as of 2017/03/31) Underlying assumptions: All things organic/inorganic are important for existence in this current state of “reality” in some form or another, and thus are inherently good.
