MICHAEL NEEDS TO BREATHE!!!

edited February 2010 in General Discussion
I was thinking to focus all this energy into something that somehow help heal the world ... as a tribute to michael.
in TII in the earth song the girl does everything possible to save the plant, the last one.
he says in his speech that millions of trees are cut down, as not as many football fields per day.
perhaps we should spread the idea as a tribute to Michael, that every one in your city and where possible, on the backyard or on the street, plant a tree ... something that generates oxygen and allow us to keep breathing.
so help heal the world for future generations.
we propose a single day and do it. I was thinking during the Christmas holidays would be a good option.
I await your answers!
L.O.V.E.

I see that many people read this topic but only one until now make a comment, are you really mj fans? are you really will help to heal the world? i don´t think so... i think that many people need to know... but you must feel that! i hope. really, that many people come together to make this possible. thank you all!

EDIT: THIS IS MY NEW LITTLE TREE CALLED "EUGENIA" MY HUSBAND AND MY DAUGHTER GIVE IT TO ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY ON FEB-20 I WANT TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU ALL!
PLANT A TREE!!!
BIG THANK YOU ALL!!!

    This is a great idea!
    In the volunteer organization I belong to, we sell trees to be planted in my city. Then we adopt a disadvantaged family and use the money to buy meals and gifts for the holidays.
    So it's win-win, I think everyone should do this. Besides being charitable to others, it makes you feel really good about yourself. Knowing that you CAN make a difference in the world, in whatever small way.

    Great idea, thanks <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
  • cc I tried something similar. Asking everyone to do a small good deed every day to help make this world a more caring and tolerable one to live in?

    Not ONE reply! Anyway, I continue to do one small thing a day that I wouldnt have normally done to do my bit. And Ive started up angelbear.org.uk to help sick kids all out of my own money as I havent recieved a donation yet.

    My fear is that many people speak the language of love (L.O.V.E) but are reluctant to change their ways to achieve a better world.

    This is not putting me off though. I'm still knitting bears, doing good deeds and putting all my spare cash and time (with 5 children this is no mean feat) into angelbear.

    I would LOVE us all to pull together and make some positive changes in Michaels name. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
  • OMG I just read that back and I sound like a right snooty cow!!!! <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    So sorry. Not having a go i just so WANT to actually see people getting behind these ideas. Big hugs to all.

    Shucks I love ya all. <!-- s:oops: -->:oops:<!-- s:oops: -->

    This is a great idea! Can someone sticky this thread? It would also be cute after the tree is planted to take a picture of it and share here <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
  • This is a beautiful idea...one I've got to believe Mike would endorse whole-heartedly! I plan to do this! Maybe one day the tree I plant will be someone's "thinking tree"! Thanks for the idea!
  • This is an awesome idea. What a truly beautiful way to honor Mike.
  • That is a great idea! There needs to be something done world wide that contributes to healing the world in some way. Im sorry I know it's far fetched but what needs to be practiced is LOVE if there was more of that there would be less crime less scrutiny to ppl (such as mj) that dont deserve all the negative lies!! And it would require ALOT of ppl doing something big but I think ppl should be made more aware of all the things going on around us "small people" because of greed and hate!

    It's a great idea so we should all try to do it.

    Hi Everyone

    I think this is a very good idea!

    I've always thought that this was one of the central ideas of TII, where MJ takes the microphone and looks into the camera and starts talking about the planet etc. (Don't want to make this about the movie though, but it's very clear, that this was what he wants us to focus on).

    I think it's important for us to join a group, if we can, who can make a difference on a global scale. But I also think it's very important to start with your own life and try to make small changes there. I'm trying to think about that movie about the boy who starts this as a school project and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the movie!! It's very sad and the boy dies at the end, but he made a huge difference and it showed how his idea impacted so many lifes. (Was it Helen Hunt as the mom?)

    I think we must also start thinking in that way? What do you think?

    But planting the trees are definately very important. Nature is so beautiful and pure, but human life is totally dependant on it as well. It's clear to hear, where MJ speaks in the "Earth Song" video, that he is very passionate about nature and about this cause.

    We must stand together, thanks for the great idea!!

    It is Pay it forward!
  • What a beautiful idea! Count me in.
  • Yes, Pay It Forward was a fabulous movie (and now the end has been ruined for anyone who hasn't seen it...ooops)...anyway...it shows how just "paying it forward", passing it on, setting an example can change lives! I believe that is what Mike was about...doing good and changing lives, starting with ourselves and whether it's planting a tree, donating money or just being kind to someone it's all "paying it forward"!

    Count me in guys <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> (I'll do it in spring though, it's too cold now <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> )
    Each tree for a new fresh air and a deep breath in the mad world we are living in ...
    I love seeing threads like that... I really do. It comforts me to see that caring people are still on earth <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
