Arbor Day the Fight for Clean Air.

We all know that plants are important in cleaning our air. I am not going to harp on that. This is just a friendly reminder that Arbor day is just around the corner(April 30th). How long has it been since you have been involved in planting a tree for Arbor day? I personally sat down and thought about that and realized it had been since I lived in Minnesota. And considering I had moved from there when I was 7 years old that is not something to be proud of. Sure there have been times through out the year where I have helped plant a tree because someone needed help with their landscaping. But this year I decided it was time for me to start being a little more proactive in improving the air around me. So this is the year I get involved and I wanted to invite you to join in the fun. I have my sights set on the Loquat(as seen in the picture) to plant this year.  What tree do you have your sights on?

If you need some ideas or if you are in need of an inexpensive tree check out the Arbor Day Foundation or if you want to take part in the holiday but do not have time or a place to plant a tree check out The Institute for Environmental Innovation they are a non profit organization that plants trees in India, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to help farmers and the environment.  A dollar plants a tree!

Have a great Arbor Day (April 30th)
