The US government has announced that American citizens must have a passport to travel. This extends to countries that previously admitted us with a wink and a nod. In the interests of Homeland Security, this is meant to sacre the "be jesus" out of anyone who might dare cross the American border under nefarious means. Yeah, it might work for a few minutes but the market in fake passports is alive and thriving. Not only is that market booming but imagine what this will do for the paper industry. The paper industry employs 700,000 people. Not bad you say.
Along comes the passport mandate and up goes the staffing in the mills. Good for industry but bad for Arbor Day. One magazine consumes one hundred and seventy seven trees. Multiply that times all the junk publications you get in the mail and the number is staggering. Is this the beginning of a campaign sacraficing shade for safety? Or do we just fan ourselves with our passports.
A new law grows in Washington. Now let a tree grow once more in Brooklyn. Enough already with the documents.
