She could feel the wind shaking the windows and saw the trees falling down. Judy used to sit under the trees and enjoy some relaxing time. She didn't want to lose the trees. As a member of the School Green Team, Judy decided to offer help. She came up with a planting plan and called for her team members to help. Now they often help plant trees and take care of them.
