Plant a tree, you’ll feel better
I had a thought (it happens sometimes), we need to pressure our local governments to not only clean up but to plant some trees. It makes things beautiful, cleans up the air, and gives the environment some stability. Australia and the US have huge tracts of land doing nothing.
Currently we plant trees in Victoria, ACT, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia (we are currently seeking sites in Tasmania for 2007-08)….Since 2001, GM Holden has been the national sponsor of Murray Darling Rescue, providing financial assistance, as well as the use of a Rodeo 4WD to assist at plantings and to help provide ongoing maintenance of the trees….In Dec 2003, the ACT Government (Office of Sustainability) signed the Territory Government fleet, offsetting the greenhouse emissions from their 1,114 vehicles….The Murray Darling Rescue project in South Australia (with Scouts SA) has planted over 111,000 trees in the state so far on behalf of South Australian motorists and fleets….We have planted some 579,000 trees in the state so far on behalf of motorists and fleets in New South Wales.
