Trees: Green Street
built 195 days ago
Knowing what her father would want, the eldest daughter, Elsie, immediately rented a ship to be docked along the Clark Street Bridge and set to selling trees from that ship to the people of Chicago. For that and twenty years after, his wife and daughters continued the legacy that Herman Schuenemann had started in the late 1800's.
Jody Scheckter, South Africa's only ever Formula 1 champion, is sponsoring 11 000 trees for the Greening of Soweto towards 2010 project. Together with Talk Radio 702, the City of Johannesburg and Johannesburg City Parks, Jody handed over 500 of these trees to residents of Soweto on 1 September 2007.

Over just 5 years, this initiative would allow more than 4 million trees to continue to grow and continue to store 1.3 million tons of CO2 each year. More than 2.5 million gallons of fossil fuels would be saved, and almost 2 million tons of greenhouse gas that would have been emitted by the manufacturing process would be eliminated.
