Spring is coming...so...it's tree planting time !

---

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!



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!

Thank you.......It was a great day.......weather got dicey after midnight last night.....power went out........the phone rang at 2:00 a.m. It was the professor for my vertebrate zoology class calling to tell me that the Spotted Salamander population just down the road was migrating to the pools for mating season. We got extra credit if we went. So, I am out at 2:30 a.m. with a flashlight looking for salamanders crossing a road. It's pretty cool set-up....the bed-room community in which the population lives has set-up salamander crossings and even puts up signs saying "Salamander Crossing," they get stolen all the time.

Wild Wing Cafe
2145 Roswell Road
Marietta, GA 30062
(770) 509-WING (9464)
http://www.wildwingcafe.com/marietta.html

6ish: Pre-party BBQ at my friend's down the street. All those interested in joining us for beer, BBQ and Volleyball e-mail Kyle at given2fly177@yahoo.com for directions.

8ish: Pre-show drinks at Wild Wings!! This will give everyone time to chat PJ and party and mingle and get way buzzed.

10ish: My most favorite PJ cover band...Ten!

Directions: From I-75 North OR South take Exit #263 (The 120 South Loop). Go East on the 120 South Loop. Go about 2 miles and Exit Roswell Rd. (Highway 120, East.) Turn right. Wild Wings is in a shopping center 1/2 mile ahead in the right. It's in the very back corner and a little hard to find.

For all you out of towners:

There is a hotel across the street from Wild Wings called Crestwood Suites. I believe that is where everyone is staying and partying. For all you hardcore drinkers...this is probably your best bet. Expedia has rooms for about $60. It's not the best...but it's not the worst either. Here is a link:

There are other hotels a little further up the road. If you'd like other options, let me know!

Can't wait to meet everyone! It's going to be a fun night! If you get lost or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!
See you Saturday!

Wake up sleepyheads another day closer.
