    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!

    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!
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    I figured that you were in trouble or about to get in trouble by reading the thread on the MT....then I noted that the send a private message feature was disabled in regards to you. I agree that the energy spent on hating Bush is a major waste of time, so don't let them get under your skin.

    Yesterday was a good day on this thread.....your message got re-posted at least twice without you around and we got right up to 3800 posts.

    How about them Trees!!!

    Please consider playing the South in the very near future.

    Learn to laugh at 9/11 crap or ignore it. I do. Now the "we should not have dropped the A-bomb on Japan" crowd is as nutty as a fruitcake and get under my skin, but I have learned to laugh at them....and the PETA people.

    the whole reason for them not playing the south was "slow ticket sales", i.e., they couldn't make enough money playing down here. :rolleyes:

    Hopefully that was an off the cuff comment that said because he had to say something when pressed or look stupid. Some of us still have the faith.

    Wanted: More trees planted

    Wanted: Pearl Jam to tour the South and soon, please.

    well, i bought trees for monarchs through the american forest store link...the description said a certificate was included, but it never gave me a chance to enter any info about it. i just figured they would send the cert to the billing address, and i would just forward it....but they got my money on 9/21, and still haven't seen it yet.
