I once read the story about a huge hall at an old and large school in  
England. The headmaster called in the school forester and pointed out  
the decaying beams and asked what could be done. The forester replied  
that he had wondered when the trees would be requested; they had been  
planted by a previous forester a couple hundred years earlier.

Yes, plant trees. It is one of the least selfish things we can do.
