**Galadriel Goes Green: Lothlórien Launches Leafy Initiative to Keep Middle-earth Evergreen**
In an eco-conscious effort that has the whole of Middle-earth buzzing like a swarm of Beornings on honey day, Lady Galadriel of Lothlórien today unveiled her grand environmental scheme dubbed “Green Leaves Forever.” This ambitious project aims not only to boost the leaf count but also to ensure that Lothlórien remains the top contender for the “Middle-earth’s Most Magical Forest” award—an accolade it has held for centuries.
“Every leaf plays a part in the symphony of Arda,” Galadriel declared, her voice echoing melodically across the mirrored waters of her famed fountain. “It is our duty to ensure that the music never fades.” With this initiative, Galadriel plans to introduce a variety of new flora to the golden woods, including the rare silver-barked mallorn saplings, believed to be Instagram-worthy by even the most discerning of Elves.
Observers close to the scene report that the local Ents have shown leafy thumbs up to the project, although their full statements are expected to take a few days to articulate, given their notoriously slow deliberation process. “Mmm… yes, trees are good,” commented Treebeard, a spokesperson for the Ents, in what is considered a rather hasty response by Entish standards.
However, not all are thrilled with these green developments. Over in Dol Guldur, the increase in orc activity has raised eyebrows—or would, if orcs cared for environmental aesthetics. Insiders suggest that the orcs are planning their counter-move, reportedly a massive pavement project titled “Mordorify Middle-earth.” Saruman, reached at his Isengard office, declined to comment, muttering something about “industrial progress” and “the beauty of smokestacks.”
Celeborn, ever the supportive spouse and co-ruler, has ramped up border patrols, ensuring that no orcish deforestation efforts spoil the Lothlórien landscape. “We have deployed additional guards—both on foot and on eagle-back—to monitor all activities. Any unauthorized axe-wielders will be promptly turned into mulch,” he stated firmly.
The initiative also promises to foster better relations with neighboring realms. Galadriel has extended an olive branch—or in this case, a mallorn branch—to King Thranduil of the Woodland Realm, inviting him to collaborate on a cross-border conservation effort. Rumor has it that the two might co-host a fundraising gala, featuring an all-harper orchestra and a moonlit dance-off.
As Middle-earth gears up for what might be the greenest century yet, all eyes are on Lothlórien to see whether “Green Leaves Forever” will truly keep the woods evergreen, or if it’s just another elvish dream. Tune in next week for an exclusive interview with Galadriel, where she’ll reveal her top tips for sustainable living and the secret elixir for eternal youth—or at least eternal tree growth.
