    In honor of Barking dogs:
    Plant Some Trees...play The South
    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!



    Facts From the Arbor Day Foundation Site:

    Over the course of 50 years, a single tree can generate $31,250 of oxygen, provide $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycle $37,500 worth of water, and control $31,500 worth of soil erosion.
    __ __ ____ ___ ___ _____ ___ _____ ___ ___ ___ __ __ ___

    So, based on the list we have so far (if youve planted a tree or ten, please add your name to the list that's circulating):

    We will have generated $ 4,687,500.00 worth of oxygen, provided $9,300,000.00 worth of air polution control, recycled $5,625,000.00 worth of water and controlled $4,725,000.00 worth of soil erosion!!!

    How about those numbers boys and girls...all from 15 people planting 10 trees each for a grand total of only $150 !!

    So, let me reitterate my point again in another way...for only $10...1/2 the cost of your 10c membership, 1/3 the cost of a tour poster (about 1/10 if you go and flip it on eBay) or the roughly the cost of 9 Wendy's Bacon Jr. Cheesburgers (plus tax)... you can help out a great cause and get PJ's attention in an environmentally friendly way....

    Help us offset the "Carbon Footprint" (see Activism header on 10c website) of PJ's tour, (and hopefully grab enough of their attention that they will add the South to their 2007 tour itenerary), by coughing up measly 10 bucks on your next payday (you're only gonna blow it on booze and smokes anyway)..... visit one of the suggested websites today and......

    PLANT A FEW TREES so PJ will PLAY THE SOUTH!


    Bump because:

    A. Read the above and help contribute to something possitive for Mother Earth.
    B. My Heels took care of business yesterday and beat The Pack on the Gridiron!!!
    C. My Heels look ridiculously talented on the basketball court this year.
    D. The Panthers won today to move back into 1st Place.
    E. And last but not least...........It wouldn't suck to see PJ down here again some time in 07

    Evans on the bench yesterday? OUCH!! For me, this week it wasn't the guys on my bench, but the guys in my lineup. Bunch of underachievers they were. Hell, Frank Gore rushed for 200 yds but couldn't even get into the end zone 1 lousy time. I envy the people who get one of the top 2 picks every year and end up with someone like LT. Its almost impossible to lose with that guy.

    As far as the topic at hand in this thread, I sent some emails out to the local rock station in Raleigh about a week ago asking them to mention this thread and post a link on their web site. I got a reply back from someone over there who said they would send the info to the station's webmaster and see what they could do. Even if we don't have one of those full fledged official petitions, we do have this thread. Maybe we can draw in some new blood to our cause here.
