Dr. Seuss is a tree-hugger!

Jack’s Winning Words 4/25/15
“I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.”  (Dr. Seuss)  Did you know that “arbor” is the Latin word for tree?  Did you know that the first Arbor Day in America was in 1872?  Have you ever heard “tree-hugger” used in a derogatory way?  Can “tree-hugger” be used positive-ly?”  In Detroit, acres of empty space is being transformed into a tree farm.  Can you think of other ways to creatively observe Arbor Day?    ;-)  Jack
