Why don't Christians plant more trees?

Because the ones that exsist must be cut down to let the one and only true tree grow.

I can only speculate here...but I believe that God intends for us to use the earth as a resource to sustain ourselves (hunt for meat, grow fruits and vegetables, construct buildings and other infrastructure with rock and timber), as opposed to sitting in the mud waiting for God to bring us food.

Its interesting that you write this.  I can see where you are coming from and I understand the frustrations.  I am not a Christian.  However, you have to remember just because there are a few rotten apples doesn't mean the whole tree is bad.  Christianity has its faults just as any religion.  There are always going to be the ones that piss you off.  Its with any religion, any kind of person.

All we can do is prepare the soil and plant seed. Then it's in God's hands to germinate. God provides the rain. Then maybe we can pull some weeds and cultivate to help it grow.

They don't.  They can plant tree rows to help minimize the effects of a dust storm.

What a good question. \n    I have now idea. Maybe (since i am a woman, i should know) she might have because we women really like to talk. We could talk to a tree if we needed to. But I think God's plan was to have Satan as a snake. \n    I will probably think about this for days to come. I will also ask my church friends about this question. Good thinking and to answer your question, I don't even know.\n\nMERRY CHRISTMAS....and keep the Christ in Christmas:)

I don't understand that. We as christians should be in the world, not separating ourselves from it. They're not gonna spread the Gospels by hiding.

I think that's a great idea. I would have planted 8 this year. I signed a paper to have them harvest my organs (if any are still functional) & then give the rest to research. The body is only a shell after all. I think even the Christians would agree that it would be better to do some good with the body than to give it to the worms. Of course, that is another form of recycling.

Plant a tree. If everyone did that it would add 6 billion trees to the world. You could even plant two trees. ;)

Lacks TOTAL discernment.  Jesus said, you will know a tree by the fruit that it produces.

AN interesting point!\n\nWhich is probably why churches are barely holding their own in the 'self sufficient' countries whilst in the third world churches are growing in numbers like wildfire.

It's not the building of too many houses so much as the way people are treating the land  and each other - they do not show any consideration for nature and do not give back. If you cut down a diseased or damaged tree - plant a new healthy one! Help educate people to be fair and respectful of nature and humanity.

It's not the money!\nIt's the fact that the earth will be terribly out of balance and mother nature will take a drastic nose dive if there are not more forests.  All life will probably die.\nOur atmosphere is created by all the plants and trees giving off all their oxygen.  Earth would not be the beautiful life supporting place that it is without trees.

Because they need lots of rivers for baptizing.\n\nI'm a baptist and our church is built near a river.

Nobody INVENTED them. Well, I guess you could say God did, but there is no way to tell. Nobody knows.\n\nYou need seeds to make a tree, but you need a tree to make a seed. Metaphorically, you could call God a tree and we are seeds. You could then say that trees came first because God created us.

There is a reason why plants only grow so high in nature.  They have to be able to still pump nutrients from the roots to the farthest limb.\n\nBesides, you would be providing a home for rats.

If plants didn't have babies, there would be no new plants to replace the old ones when they died. Then, eventually, there would be no plants and you would not be able to ask that question. Instead you would ask why the plants didn't have babies. What was wrong with them?
