My goodness. I just got back from the "Almost Free Tree Giveaway" at the school, and, as usual, my eyes were bigger than my ambition, so I got 20 instead of 5. 7 Incense Cedar, which grow extremely well for me, 2 Redwoods which do OK, 2 Sweet Gum/ Liquid Amber, a few native thingees. But, the ground is frozen enuf I don't want to plant them today. Still need to get some bigger bare root trees from the nursery, but, so far, they just have fruit trees.

Carbon dioxide is heating up the Earth. Ice caps are melting, ocean levels are rising, hurricanes are intensifying, tropical diseases are spreading and the threat of droughts, floods and famines looms large. Can planting a tree help stop all this from happening? To some, it’s a no-brainer: We add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere every time we use energy from coal, oil or gas; but each tree can remove more than a ton of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere over its lifetime. Based on this logic, it might seem a good idea to go out and plant a tree to slow global heating. Maybe we should just breath less or breed less <gg> How much CO2 per minute from 6.5 billion humans who all exhale an average of three times per minute ?? Triff ..
