YOUR FUTURE “ROOF TREE” IS GROWING NOW!
I
Yes . . . actually . . . your home of tomorrow
may still be a growing tree.
Our forest lands provide us with the trees which supply
the lumber to build our homes. Most of us know that,
and value our forests.
Yet we cause more than 20,000 forest fires a year from
lighted matches, cigarettes and campfires.
Every 12 seconds around the clock our forests supply
us with enough new wood to build a home. From them
come our furniture, the many paper products we need,
and literally thousands of other useful products.
Keep that wood growing by keeping faith with the forests.
Break your matches in half.
Crush your cigarettes into the earth.
Drown or completely smother your Campfires.
KEEP YOUR “ROOF TREES” GROWING!
