Trees at Home Depot Half Off!
2009-08-06 04:43:00 In the post about espaliered trees I mentioned that I was inspired to buy Rick Bayless' urban edible garden to buy some and plant them in my garden. I noted that espaliered trees are usually the last to sell in the big box garden centers I visit. Well, I just came back from a local Home Depot and what do they have marked 50% off ? Fruit trees along with shade and flowering trees are on sale and they have a number of espaliered apple trees left. The trees are grafted with four varieties of semi-dwarf apples. Hopefully, they'll still have them tomorrow when I'll have access to a truck. At the bottom of the post on Northern Catalpa...

2009-04-27 10:31:00 from Desperados under the Eaves..by Warren ZevonI thought of these words from Warren Zevons album "A Quiet Normal Life"as the trees outside my apartment building were removed over the last two weeks.Twenty four trees,twelve each side of the large intersection on Route 19 have been unceremoniously lopped,topped and extracted from the centre island of the road.Their removal will allow the construction of traffic turning lanes into the intersection to take place.There was nothing particularly outstanding about these specimens.Just your uncommon urban tree.They were functional.A touch of greenery one could gaze down on.They provided nests and perches for birds.They were homes to the seasonal cicadas that broadcast their raspy metallic beat from their boughs every early summer.They were a barrier against the constant grind of traffic noise.A filter against the fumes and filth that blackened their limbs. I for one will miss them.

Why Save Trees?
2009-03-05 07:54:00 One billion personal computers have been sold across the world, according to hi-tech consultancy Gartner Dataquest report. The number of computers is set to explode in the next few years, reaching the two billion mark by 2008. Unprecedented technology growth in deed! But this is not about the technology growth. Point here is how computer can help save the trees.Use of papers has been around since the Egyptians invented the paper making process some 4,000 years ago. The paper making technology was exported to China in the 2nd century BC and later to the Arabs world in the 8th century. Now paper and paper products are made and used all over the world. Though the process has been refined over years but the basic raw material is pulp that is obtained from wood by cutting trees. The pulp and paper industry is the world?s fifth largest industrial consumer of wood. Over 92 percent of today?s paper comes from trees, and paper production is responsible for about a fifth of the total wood cut...

Seeing Trees by Evan Palmer
2009-02-16 23:04:00 In this article, the trees are virtues and the forest is the whole from which they emerge.Generally, a virtue is good, and a vice, which is opposed to a virtue, is bad. We, typically, don't see them existing on their own without relationships or connections or contexts. For example, seeing courage and loyalty as ideal independent virtues similar to Plato's ideal solids.Because virtues are personal attributes, the sire of any virtue is the sense of self. A person, or personhood, manifests a virtue.Sense of self, in turn, needs memory. The traditional memory but also tendencies, instinct & other innateness, each with their own memories possibly connected to the main traditional memory or other memories, possibly isolated. All enmeshed in a reality, an enormous web of relationships and laws transfixed by time and cravings. This idea of memory is anchored in an uncharted ocean of speculation and ambiguous experimental results. There are persons with almost no physical brains yet...

It can be pizza boxes, bags, desserts, flags or toilet paper rolls; when they come into his hand they turn out to be intricate art works meticulously created. In each bag or roll, the shape of a tree is created without adding or removing anything; each tree stands in the same bag that it came from. When you see it under the natural light, the delicate tree shows inside a paper bag. The work is simply beautiful!

Cat Trees - The Perfect Way For Your Cat to Get Rid of Its Excess Energy
2008-08-14 03:50:00 By Jennifer AkreClick, click, click. Click, click, click. This is all you hear when your cat is running up and down the hallway in your home. It's starting to get on your nerves and on top of all the clicking, he's jumping and starting to tear apart your furniture. Now stop and think before you get angry, he's a cat right, and he likes to run jump and play. So, to keep your stress level down and his energy level down, he needs a place to play and instead of your furniture, just turn to cat trees to solve the problem.Cat trees are great fixtures that offer your cat one fantastic place to just let go. How so? It is because of their design, like the name dictates, it looks like a natural thing that you would find outside and has the same type of shape of a tree with a center cylinder that has limbs sticking out of it. One will generally be crafted out of some sort of wood and then will be covered in a sturdy fabric so it won't break down when your cat is clawing and jumping on it.I...

JTC to plant more trees in Tuas to help companies cut energy costs
2008-06-05 02:54:00 JTC to plant more trees in Tuas to help companies cut energy costs By Valarie Tan, SINGAPORE: JTC Corporation will plant more trees in Tuas to help companies there cut energy costs, the company revealed at its tree-planting event at the Tuas Biomedical Park on Wednesday. It said a joint study with the National University of Singapore showed that areas with more greenery experience cooler temperatures. Shade from trees and rooftop greenery can bring down temperatures in buildings by nearly five degrees, which suggests that well-shaded buildings could see energy savings of more than 25 per cent. JTC is now looking at planting trees at strategic locations in Tuas View as a pilot project. - CNA/ac  Source : Channel NewsAsia - 05 jun 2008 Singapore Property - Buy, Sell, Rent, Invest Mindy Yong (+65)91002985 mindy@mindyyong.com
Indonesian couples told to plant trees before marrying
2008-06-04 14:00:00 PROSPECTIVE newlyweds in an Indonesian province are being given one more promise to honour: planting trees to help slow the rapid deterioration of the country's forests. As Indonesia marks World Environment Day on Thursday, husbands- and brides-to-be in Gorontalo, a rugged mountainous province on Sulawesi island, are being required to plant 10 seedlings supplied by the local government, said Mr Hasyim Alidrus, head of the religious affairs office. It is part of a nationwide 're-greening' initiative launched by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the Bali Conference in Bali last November when million of trees were planted across the vast archipelago. The program, critics say, is largely symbolic in a nation that is losing its forests at one of the fastest rates in the world due to illegal logging, mining, new oil palm plantations and slash-and-burn land clearing.
