We just moved into our current house last year, and with tomorrow being National Arbor Day, it is a perfect opportunity for us to plant a tree – something we’ve been lamenting over for several months now.

The 2009 theme, “Trees are Terrific…in Cities and Towns!” was designed to increase student’s understanding of the importance of trees in a community. Here is the official Arbor Day poster for this year:

I’ve also added the “don’t blow it” app to my Facebook page – why?

For every new player, a low-allergenic tree will be planted with American Forests, up to our goal of 20,000 trees. Why? Because studies suggest that higher levels of carbon dioxide and a warmer atmosphere may increase pollen production, which in turn triggers nasal allergy symptoms. And tree planting is one of the best ways to reduce the amount of CO2 in the air.
