A.M. Greenlist: Tree frenzy
>> Plant a tree by watching "Desperate Housewives" online? ABC's come out with a new widget promoting its shows that you can embed on your blog, your iGoogle page, or other webpage of yours. And between now and the end of April, ABC and the Arbor Day Foundation will plant a tree for every video watched.
>> Plant a Billion Trees. The Nature Conservancy's new project has the goal of raise reforesting 2.5 million acres of land in the Atlantic Forest. Each tree costs a buck. (via groovy green)
>> Did you know each state has its own arbor day? Today's Washington state's.
>> A "Hello I'm here" beep for hybrids? A bill that could force otherwise silent hybrids to audibly alert people they're nearby will be introduced in congress today. "While the organization is not aware of people being struck by cars they couldn't hear, [National Federation of the Blind] President Marc Maurer has said he fears it's only a matter of time."
>> How to take back the streets from cars. The NY Times suggests everything from the Woonerf to bicycle boulevards. (via kottke)
