So they came up with an idea. Each tree has been given its own email address and ID number on an interactive online map - the original intention was to help residents report tree decline, but instead people starting writing love emails to the trees.

Climate
[|Trees: the new carbon-storing, tax-minimising gimmick] - We all know that trees soak up carbon-dioxide, so one logical response to climate-change is to grow more trees to keep the nasty gas out of the atmosphere. It makes sense, then, to offer financial incentives to grow trees specifically as carbon sinks.

Africa Calodendrum capense (Cape Chestnut) <span style="background-color: #f2f7fc; color: #1057ae; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">[|www.plantzafrica.com/plantcd/calodendcape.htm] Each year the people of Fort Wayne, Indiana invite visitors from throughout the nation to celebrate the pioneer spirit of John Chapman, better known as "Johnny Appleseed," Chapman was a colorful character of the Indiana frontier in the early 1800s. During the latter part of his life, Chapman traveled the countryside on foot, planting orchards in Fort Wayne and surrounding areas. In the process, he became a national folk hero and his gravesite memorial area in Fort Wayne's Archer Park has been designated a National Historic Place and is identified as such on the National Register of Historic Places.
