    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 .)

    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!

    Re-Forestation Links:

    http://www.arborday.org/join/TICTIM/index.cfm

    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!

    Bump for this cause!

    I went to the New Orleans show the night before and couldn't get up to B'ham. It was cold as hell in NO but like Eddie said thank goodness it was an indoors show.

    OH YEA, 3700 FREAKIN POSTS!!!!!

    PLAY THE SOUTH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
  • NCBRINCBRI Posts: 1,902
    Ummmmm.......are some of us forgetting its TWO for TUESDAY here at the Ol' Thread. Lets slap some duct tape on this sucker and keep it positioned at the front. For any noobs.......there are two main purposes we have here. First is to show how much The South loves PJ and that we are dying for some shows down here in our neck of the woods. Basically we won't give up until we here some good news on this front. If that means taking this thread to 10,000 posts and beyond, well then so be it. We are some persistant little fuckers down here.
    The second purpose is our mission to plant some trees because Trees Rock and are wonderfull for that whole environment thing. Factor in that they could help offset the environmental negatives that a traveling caravan of rock n' roll produces and you have a winner. See the official and much better worded statement by Barking Dogs that I quoted in my previous post. If you decide to plant some trees, then let us know. And of course it goes without saying that we also want to hear how good of an idea you think it is that PJ play some shows in The South. Help spread the jam!

    The bad news was that B'ham was an outdoor show.........it helped the sales of hoodies and skater's caps. :)
