Well, it's very simple. It's all because of Cradle to Cradle, one of my very favorite books, and a particular image used therein. It represents nature's bounty and glorious excess, and draws a contrast with our views of (and the current impacts of) human waste. It points towards a possibility that we as humans might strive towards. Rather than endlessly trying to do less harm, or heedlessly doing more harm, we could instead someday restructure our way of living so that we produce an excess that is as beautiful and benevolent as that of the cherry tree and its thousand blossoms.
