Growing trees in the concrete jungle of Lo

题目内容：

Growing trees in the concrete jungle of Los Angels brings neighbors benefits beyond beauty.

As the 36of TreePeople, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1973, Andy, now 54, has inspired hundreds of thousands of volunteers to 37plant more than two million trees throughout Southern California.

the community behind you, the trees you plant will die in five years.” So I started knocking on doors, hoping to share 41I’d learnt in Tree People’s seminar(培训班) about the critical role of trees in removing smog from the 42, cooling our homes and preventing water runoff.

When the big day arrived, I was excited and 48. What if I threw a planting tree and 49else came? But as I set out shovels(铁铲), my son and wife made cakes and doughnuts, 50started to gather. Friends brought friends. Neighbors came with cousins and grandchildren. A local middle school even 51with half the seventh grade. More than 300 people joined us.

Then Andy led us in a 52: welcoming each tree into the world and 53it name. After the ceremony, as I shook hands with volunteers and my neighbors, I 54 help but feel we’d accomplished 55great. After all, trees need people, and people need trees.
