The Environment!!! Are you tired of waiting for politicians who won't win who want to spend 2 trillion dollars on green new deals?

I am. Not one of them has mentioned planting trees. If you want to plant trees, without doing it yourself, or if you don't have a yard, but you are worried about our carbon footprint and want to donate to a proven cause:

https://www.nationalforests.org/donate/thank-you-for-planting-trees

These folks are going to plant 10 trees a month for me now. 10 trees every month!!! At least I am doing SOMETHING!! Unlike our political poodle heads.

BTW, I checked out this foundation on Charity Navigator, and they are rated 4 stars.

ONE tree will absorb 48 lbs of carbon per year!!!!

Each American puts out just over 21 tons of carbon per year! That means each American needs to plant 909 trees each year to offset their own carbon footprint! That's 91 trees a month.

Ok, so I couldn't afford to spend $91 per month...but at least I am doing something.

And imagine if we ALL did even a little bit. We could cover the burned out forests in the west with trees again.

And if I ever win the lottery, I am definitely donating $91 a month!

I remember when planting a tree was supposed to save the planet.

@xixgun It still helps. I will be planting 120 trees a year from now until I die. If I live another 30 years, that's 3600 trees with my love and my spirit in them, each one scrubbing the air like mad.

How many of those 3,600 do they guarantee won't be cut down the minute they mature and sold for lumber? My guess would be none. It doesn't matter how many we plant. What matters is how many we keep. @4meAndyou

@ThePerfectUsername Well, thank you for pooping on my parade. But these trees are to be planted in National Forests, where logging is not permitted except for the overall health of the forest.

@4meAndyou 😂Last thing I wanna do is get on the wrong side of you!
ThePerfectUsername · 70-79, M
And you seriously think the national forests will be significantly bigger when you die than they are now? They're just using your money to plant replacements for the ones they've already decided to cut down is all. @4meAndyou

@4meAndyou I bet you wish he was drinking a green smoothie.
4meAndyou · F
@Wol62 I thought so...😂
4meAndyou · F
@Wol62 Awww. Did you get your laundry done the other day?
Wol62 · 51-55, M
@4meAndyou Huh?
Wol62 · 51-55, M
@4meAndyou PFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT...whatever.
ThePerfectUsername · 70-79, M
So no chance of you demanding that guarantee then eh. That's a real shame because it could literally have made a world of difference to the outcome. @4meAndyou

@Wol62 The other day you said you spit up your green smoothie all over your clothes, and you said it wasn't even funny...you said you were standing in front of your washing machine in your socks.
Wol62 · 51-55, M
@4meAndyou Yeah...yeah, that was right, cause of what you and that guy wrote on here.

Lucky i didn't turn blue, goddamn you conservatives.

Now you have turned into a tree hugger.
4meAndyou · F
@Wol62 Hey, Dude...I have ALWAYS been a tree hugger...and I voted for Obama...and I voted for Trump...and I am just a cornucopia of conflicting feelings, causes, and loves.
