Here's something to reflect on. A thought like this can bring the global/local ideas into sharp focus.
There are 61 trees per person on planet Earth, NPR reports today.
We use trees for: "baseball bats, barrels, books, blocks, benches, crutches, coffee filters, guitars, grocery bags, pencils, pine oil, beds, billboards, buttons, candy wrappers, buttons, chewing gum, cork, crayons, egg cartons, fruit pie filling, kites, linoleum, luggage, paper, pingpong balls, chopsticks (especially the disposable kind), rubber, tambourines, telephone books, tires, toilet paper, turpentine, xylophones and yo-yos (the wooden kind)."
Did you see "fruit pie filling" on that list? Weird. Think I'll pass on the Balsam Fir pie this Thanksgiving.

So this is what you think about at 3 in the morning? I'll have to agree...no Balsam Fir pie for me either. I've never seen "tree" in any of the fruit pie fillings I've had :)
Good luck with your finals...can't wait to see you around Christmas time.
Aren't apple and peach the most delicious pie fillings? Both from trees...
