    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!

    Am saving Torino for tomorrow - take a ride and listen to the boot.
    I loved Lisbon II (I was there). Lisbon 2000 is very good as well. At least to me.

  • Add West Palm and Fort Lauderdale! While in Florida why not? The Bank Atlantic Center (Sunrise/Ft. Laud) hasn't seen PJ yet. It's a great venue - home of the Panthers and very close to my house :) Moved here from Boston last year and missing PJ big time :(

    Lisbon II it is then. I was thinking about that one after reading about it.
    Oh yeah, and I am very jealous of you being able to go to Europe and see PJ. That would be unbelievable.

  • tybirdtybird Posts: 17,388
    I encountered an interesting article in this morning's Birmingham News.....it seems that a local Jr. College is responible for growing thousands upon thousands of loblolly pine trees for the state. Just another tree/the South connection. See, the rumors aren't true.........the South does not hate the environment.

    We plant trees in the South.

    We would love to see Pearl Jam in the South.

    Hope you like it... lots of crowd singing. It was a touching show - the band was really having a great time - it was infectious.

    I like the combo I got id and Garden and especially like the bridge from Daughter to It's all right.

    There is alot of talking in Portuguese (EV was quite chatty) He makes reference to how glad they are being back in Portugal and how the Portuguese have been faithful fans for many years and they appreciate that it gives them an excuse to come back to Portugal..Also that they got to surf earlier and how they think the (responsive) audience is like riding a big wave so EV gets to surf twice in one day (he also sings that in their improv later on)... and they were happy to have a day off the next day to surf there.

    He also talked a little about Boom's Portuguese heritage and the cavalquinha (ukelele) he was given and where he was going to put it in his house in Seattle...how the Portuguese people were really cool - that is just a little of what he said... it was pretty cool.
