It's the smallest thing but possibly the grandest gesture you can do today...
Plant a tree seed.
It can be a pip from an apple, an acorn from an oak or a winged nut from a maple - you can even go crazy and buy a whole packet of tree seeds from your local garden centre if you want.
It doesn't really matter what tree seed you plant, so long as you plant it. And the best seeds - those with the greatest chance of growing large and living long - are seeds from trees that grow naturally where you live.
But where do you plant it?
On the side of the side of the street, in your garden, in the park, by a lay-by, on the side of a field or next to a wood... anywhere where there's space and light*. Then all you have to do is
- bend down,
- push your finger into the soil about to about 2cm (1 inch) depth - or use a pen - and pop that seed in.
- Then stand on the hole to close it over and tuck it in.
