“I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues”

Dr. Seuss

Simplified Meaning:

Trees can’t talk or express their needs, so they rely on people to speak up for them. Just like animals or children who can't voice their concerns, trees need someone to protect them and ensure their well-being. For example, consider how environmental groups advocate for forests. They raise awareness about deforestation and push for laws to protect these natural spaces because trees can't argue for themselves. If you see an issue where something or someone can't defend itself, you can step in and help. By speaking up, you bring attention to the problem and encourage others to make a change. In everyday life, it’s like standing up for a friend who is being bullied and can’t fight back. Being the voice for the voiceless is a way to show care and responsibility for our world and the creatures living in it.
