    FACT:
    Over the course of 50 years, a single tree can generate $31,250 of oxygen, provide $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycle $37,500 worth of water, and control $31,500 worth of soil erosion.

    Fact:
    (10) of those green leafy little buggers are hitting the soil as we speak and a certificate is on it way indicating that 10 Lodgepole Pines and Douglas Firs have been planted in honor of Pearl Jams 2006 /2007 Tour, Celebrating the "Please Play the South Movement" made possible by Barkingdogs....Soon to be forwarded to the 10c.

    Fact: Getting those certificates rolling into the 10c might just get the band headed south...Keep up the AWESOME work!

  • This little movement seems to have grown some legs of its own....

    The *** Official Plant a Tree, Play the South*** petition has been merged with this thread.

    Im going to keep posting this until we get lots more people on board.

    We are hoping to get the attention of the band and do something great for the enviroment at the same time. What we would like to do is plant as many trees as possible in order to offset the "Carbon Footprint" (see Activism) of PJ'S tour when they come southward (and I know they will!)

    Below are some suggested links to foundations that will plant trees for small donations. They will even send you a certificate indicating that the trees have been planted and where they were planted. For as little as 10 bucks, only half the cost of your 10c membership, you can get 10 trees planted in honor of PJ's Southern Tour leg in 2007.

    My 10 trees are planted and they should be photosynthesising as we speak. Once my certificate arrives, it will be forwarded to the 10c.

    Folks, its entirely possible, with a little help we could get litterally thousands of trees planted with this little "Southern Homegrown Movement".

    The steps are simple:

    1) Pick a foundation from the links below, or any other that you like.

    2) Purchase your trees

    3) Have your certificate, if applicable, filled out to indicate that these trees were planted in honor of Pearl Jam's Southern US Tour in 2007.
    Or, if you plant a tree at your house, just snap a picture.

    4) Send your certificate or photo to the 10c at the below address.

    It's that easy!

    Let's really get the band's attention in a positive way instead of just bitchin and moaning!

    http://www.americanforeststore.org/

    http://www.saveourhemlocks.org/

    And the 10c address to mail in that certificate or photo:

    Pearl Jam
    PO Box 4570
    Seattle, WA
    98194-0570

    THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO HAVE OFFERED A BOATLOAD OF AWESOME SUGGESTIONS AND HELPFUL LINKS AND THANKS FOR BEING ALL AROUND COOL PEOPLE!

    LET'S MAKE THIS WORK! GO PLANT A TREE!
