Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Planting trees is a good way to reduce pollution, increase oxygen, and protect from global warming. It is also a good way to add beauty to your property or neighborhood. Planting trees and shrubs around your home can reduce utility bills by 5-10%. Spring is a good time to plant trees all across the USA, when the soil loosens after the last frost of the season. Plan for large trees if you have enough space for them to grow wide and well, but if you have only a little space, plant a small tree. Every bit helps when we all plant as many trees, shrubs, or bushes as we can. You can start from seeds or seedlings, or go to your local nursery, and ask which trees in your area do well, grow fast, and don't die out due to disease. Plant strong, healthy trees that will last 50-100 years. Get instructions on how to care for your new trees and follow them closely. If you are not able to get out and plant, your nursery man or woman can do it for you. Please be sure to check with your utility company for safe digging locations so you don't hit a gas or electric line when planting your tree. Please pass this message on!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Why is it developers feel it necessary to cut down every single living thing when they buid a development? When I moved into the duplex where I live there were about five acres of trees behind the house. We had loads of squirrels, a few raccoons and chipmunks living around us. It was a nice place for the local children to go play. Two years ago a developer came in and cut down everything and built a street lined with houses. Where did all the furry little creatures go? And even though they put up houses and didn't plant a single tree, did they bother to put solar panels on some of the houses? Hell no! There isn't a single tree to block the sun, but they don't think far ahead enough to realize the benefits of using the sun. Greedy people like that are what will be the downfall of this country. --- In , " brightbrightlight " <bridgett wrote: > > > Planting trees is a good way to reduce pollution, > increase oxygen, and protect from global warming. > It is also a good way to add beauty to your property > or neighborhood.
