London To Plant 2 Million Trees By 2025 Under Green Plan
(London)-
In an effort to fend off a projected temperature rise in London in the
next several decades, the mayor of London's environment advisor
announced a plan to increase the amount of tree. A recent study by The
UK Climate Impacts Programme concluded that increasing the amount
of plants and trees could offset rising temperatures. The planting of
two million new trees in the city amounts to an increase of five
percent of the city's tree population.

LOCAL STORY
Businesses raise money for new trees
(Galveston,
TX)- A group of downtown business owners is hosted a street party to
raise money to buy trees for the island's replanting efforts. The free
event, featuring live music and food, was part of the citywide
Hurricane Ike remembrance activities. The storm killed an estimated
30,000 trees, denuding much of the island's core urban area of its
100-year-old leafy canopy. The city's tree committee is working on
replanting efforts, which will start in November.
