Many people, other than the authors, contribute to the making of a book, from the first person who had the bright idea of alphabetic writing through the inventor of movabletype to the lumberjacks who felled the trees that were pulped for its printing. It is not customary to acknowledge the trees themselves, though their commitment is total.
-   Rada and Forsyth, Machine Learning

Or, the trees that made the lumber that makes up my home, or the wooden desk that supports my computer, or that millions of years ago fell and eventually became the carbon based fossil fuels we now use to make electricity.  Our new virtual reality is also dependent upon the trees. 

Time to hug a tree, or at least pat one on the back before you
put it in your wood stove.  Talk about "total commitment!"
