  • Movin this info to the last page for all to see.....

    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), or just visit your local home improvement
    megastore.

    2) Purchase your trees. (stealing your neighbor's trees and re-planting them is NOT recommended :D.)

    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, printed email receipt or photo to the 10c at the below address.

    ** SNAIL MAIL IS THE OPTIMAL ATTENTION GETTING METHOD.**
    on the outside of your envelope please write:
    "Trees for Pearl Jam Movement"

    It's that easy!

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

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

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

    BUMPING the message because this thread is lacking in stickiness. Maybe if we apply some sap from some of these trees that are being planted , it will stick to the first page. Or maybe some pine tar. After all, North Carolina is the Tar Heel State.

    Yeah, I never could breath out of one side of my nose until I had it fixed. Amazing the difference. It is so worth it.

    By the way, just want to pass this along.....

    The Who are coming to Atlanta. I'm on the early ticket access mail list for the venue so I thought I'd try to snag a couple of seats up front. I was on line when the early sale started.....guess what the good tix cost????? $200 Dollars.... and that was for the 2nd section back - not the section closest to the stage!... Shades of my "Stones in Pittsburgh with PJ RIP OFF"!!!! (I paid $500 for was was supposed to be 7th row - yeah, 7th row two sections back) The Stones are the greediest bastards around, and they sound like crap now. They had a dozen musicians with them. Anyway, enought of that..

    Back to the Who. I was so disappointed. I didn't buy any tickets because I know the arena well and the cheaper seats really SUCK.

    Just makes me appreciate PJ even more. So ...
    PLEASE PLAY THE SOUTH......SOON!!
    WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
