I grew up on Bliss, and used to cut my hair at Mike's shop. It is so sad that the trees are being cut, I hope this action can stop it.
good luck
Kind of irrelevant, but speaking of trees and their importance, this reminds me of what Haifa Wehbe said to Tony Baroud when he offered her during his program a cedar tree sprout bearing her name. When other guests were touched and got all emotional and teary about it when he offered them a cedar tree bearing their name, she was like: "Yay, merci! Ana b7ebb kill el a3sheb!" (Thank you, I like all kinds of grass!)
...Makes you look at your flag and your national symbol from a different perspective, doesn't it?
What was the result of the action?
