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:

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!

The companies that pay for tree planting only do it so they can cut down old growth forests.
