Fifty people gathered in Sedalia to cut down pines that will be decorated as Christmas trees. The event was organized by Americas for Conservation and the Arts (AFCA), CREA Results, and Promotores Verdes. The activity received support from the U.S. Forest Service (Region 2) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). The initiative provided the opportunity to cut Christmas trees while also promoting environmental awareness and a direct connection with nature.

Ana Romero, a certified forest therapy guide, sought permission from Mother Earth before cutting each tree, emphasizing the importance of respecting and preserving the natural environment. Participants understood that the felling of these pines actively contributes to fire prevention, promoting the growth of mature trees. Romero insisted that participants were establishing a meaningful bond with nature. This was also a forest therapy to strengthen the immune system during the winter months.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
