    apparently playing the south no longer makes them enough money.
    Is it really about the money????


    Trees are better than money in many ways.

    Build a new fan base.........tour the South

    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:
    the south hates you too, pearl jam.

    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.

    Sorry, I can't stand seeing the grammatical error I made above. It should say "won't tour the South".

    How long does it take to get your arbor certificate?

    Sorry if someone already answered this....
    I had my certificate sent directly to Ten Club, but I got a notice that it had been sent in about 10 days.

    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.

    I did the Arbor Day site and it was really straightforward as far as giving me the opportunity to have the certificate sent elsewhere and even adding a message. And, like I said, I got the confirmation pretty quick. They really had it together as far as ease and speed of ordering go. I've recommended it to anybody asking me about doing the trees thing. Sorry your experience hasn't been as smooth.

    Let's keep posting updates on the donations work in regards to addressing our cause.....I am still undecided on whom to offer a donation.

    Trees, we could always stand to have a few more

    Come on down........we really are nice people.

    I went with Arborday. As it was not cool to plant them locally - I am having faith that they are legit and my money is going for the good.

    But am still continuing in other ways - have implemented some more environmental preserving actions at my business (costs much!) to start with. and i must admit - I never would have allocated that money if it weren't for PearlJam making me think about it.

    So they should play in the south.

    Hey Pearl Jam.......just think of the changes that you be the genesis for....if you actually came down here.

    There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees....so help them!

    Pearl Jam concerts in the South would be a wonderous thing to behold.

    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!:)

    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! :D

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