That being said, plants are living things, and even if they don't have what we'd consider a consciousness, I still think respecting them as organisms is important.

Not to the extent of "hug a tree" (though I have a feeling that the tree might "like it" that you're breathing carbon dioxide directly onto it) but showing an awareness of the world around you and being respectful of it benefits you, as well as other surrounding creatures.

I might be a little miffed that we just paid the city (and not through taxes, this is something that everyone on this street paid for out of pocket) to redo our shitty roads, which apparently included tearing down a whole bunch of trees that had been around since we moved here, as well as one tree that a local grade school had planted.

Granted, I understand why they did it, it was to redo the sewer pipes, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm mad that it had to happen in the first place.
