Runaway October

I came across this post, by Jojoebi, just a lit­tle while ago. And it was some­thing that def­i­nitely caught my attention.

A Ger­man com­pany, called Kaufda, is promis­ing to plant one tree in coöper­a­tion with The Arbor Day Foun­da­tion for every blog that par­tic­i­pates in their “My blog is car­bon neu­tral” campaign.

Accord­ing to Kaufda:

For every sin­gle one of the par­tic­i­pat­ing blogs, “Make it Green” and “Arbor Day Foun­da­tion” are plant­ing a tree in Plumas National For­est. With your sup­port, we are help­ing refor­est Plumas National For­est with as much trees as pos­si­ble. In the spring of 2010, Douglas-fir, red and white firs, and incense cedars will be planted along­side pon­derosa pine and sugar pine trees. These new trees will help pre­vent soot and soil runoff into Plumas’ pre­cious water sup­plies. Now, we are refor­est­ing it with your help!

We plant trees, both in Ger­many (in the upper Harz region) and in North­ern Cal­i­for­nia. Why are we doing this? Because the reduc­tion of car­bon emis­sions by plant­ing trees has the same effect, regard­less of where in the world the trees are planted. It involves all of us to give some­thing back to our environment.
