It is March and the first sitings of planting in your yard, garden, or flower bed are on the horizon.With that said we are going to encourage you to plant a TREE!
A very simple step to helping our planet.
Here are some reasons why planting a tree is a GREAT idea:
-Trees can increase your property value, aka they look pretty.
-They create a sound barrier
-It's a free way to cool your home. Thus reducing your need for air-conditioning and more so your demand on pollution-causing power plants.
-Trees eat carbon dioxide, a huge greenhouse gas. The American Forestry Association states if every American family planted a single new tree, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would be reduced by as much as a billion pounds a year.
-If you live in L.A. you can even get a FREE tree to plant from the city of Los Angeles. Just email with your name, address, and phone number with the subject line "Request for a tree" to:
milliontrees@hbteam.com also for you L.A. folks see www.lawp.com.
So give it a shot, and if you rent look into your local community, public, state, or even National parks for planting opportunities. You often can have it dedicated in your name or a loved one. They would love your help!
A TREE, what a simple step to help the environment!

This is really cool, Carole! Patrick and I were just talking about getting a dwarf lemon tree for our patio. I'll check out the free LA trees today! :)
You know I don't agree with a lot of what you and Brian agree with, but this is a great idea. Everyone should plant a tree!
