A girl - - Netherlands

Today, I finally went to Home Depot to buy a chainsaw to cut down the tree leaning dangerously over my garage. When I got home, I found the tree had fallen and taken out the roof while I was shopping. FML

Today, my boss sent me to remove a tree from a client's home. So I went and cut down the tree, only for my boss to show up an hour later, speechless. I was supposed to remove a sapling that had sprouted through the driveway tarmac, not the 100-year-old prizewinning Japanese cherry tree. FML

Today, I woke up at 4AM to the sound of lightning hitting a tree in my backyard, then that tree proceeding to hit my house. Later, my neighbor's tree fell over, which hit our fence, and they're not even home. FML

That's so sad. You can keep doing the project and just show the stump. Turn it into some artsy go green anti-human thing.

Do something better. Plant your own tree and take a picture every day. It would be sick.

Use this to your advantage. Take a picture of the stump, and explain in your project that nature changed the tree in beautiful and subtle ways over the 8 months, while in a single day, humans destroyed it entirely. It shows our impact on the planet perfectly :)
