All plants,
for whom I speak as these life forms cannot speak for themselves,
have the right to life.

Indiscriminate cutting, pruning, or harm to plants is unethical and immoral.
May all plants have the right to life.
Unfortunately, in the hierarchy of beings,
plants are the underdog,
after humans and after animals, forgotten and ignored by most.
Without eyes, legs, brain, heart,
they are such a different species than us.
Furthermore, they are defenseless.
We need to change our perspective on how we view them:
manifest destiny and conquest of the wild are 19th century ideas.
Plants are life
and we are co-dependent with them.
We must coexist.
