One tree that is truly worth planting has many miracle qualities that makes it perfect for saving the planet: The Moringa Tree.

Moringa Tree

T
his hardy tree with a gnarly trunk and cypress-like leaves thrives in arid places as well as in the living room, and is really quite remarkable for it's life saving qualities.

Amongst these are as a water purifyer (crushed seed pods), and with high nutritional and medicinal attributes, the ground leaves make a paste, which, serving by serving, has the calcium of four glasses of milk, the Vitamin C of 7 oranges and the potassium of 3 bananas!

It's also loaded with Vitamin A, and has 4 times the beta carotene of carrots. But it's not just good for you, it's delicious; you can cook it in it's own oil and top it with Moringa sauce and still have a variety of flavors and textures.

In Jamaica, they use it as a common blue dye; in Africa, the seed oil for cooking, as a preservative and even as a lubricant, which doesn't spoil! In India they sell pickled seed pods, and it grows practically anywhere, in any container.

Seeking alternatives for developing autonomous regeneration of the environment? Tired of pollution causing damaging weather changes because of the choices we citizens make? The climate is our commons; it is the root of the world's communities. Deep thinking will be needed, depending on the dilemma facing Earth. Ecological and economic matters will suffer equally from our emission-based energies. Energy has lasting environmental impacts, something environmentalist groups have warned about for years. Environmentalists are not just people passing moral judgment, they are just keenly aware that resources are finite. Food, fossil fuels and the markets, are global as is their impact. How great it would be if we could green the earth and grow the economy? A cleaner environment contributes to better health, helping us begins by learning how industrial activities can merge into the ecologically sound lifestyle. There is no limit on what we can do if we keep in mind local impact of our production with the moral clarity of our obligation to protect Mother Nature. A new organic Participatory ecology is forming; we can no longer turn blind eyes to the actions of those who pollute. We can preserve future growth by recognizing the problems, establishing protocols, and setting benchmarks for recognizing pollution reduction. Instead of exploiting the earth's natural resources, we will rely on renewable resources to save our legacy. If this makes sense to you, and you're serious about finding a solution for earth restoring technological advances, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Share with us ideas, problems, experiences with new technologies and environmental trends about restoring nature's right to clean water and abundant wildlife.
