​Keep the American Economy Moving – Idea #14

Plant a Tree

Plant a Tree – Very simple and very green. Maybe a fruit tree, buy it from a local nursery. They will even plant it for you. Enjoy the shade and lower cooling bills. Maybe enjoy fresh fruit free from your yard. Don’t own property? You can have a tree planted in your name. Have them plant it in a blighted area of the Western U.S. Check with the National Forest Service or your equivalent state agency for tree planning programs. Check out the Arbor Day Foundation to buy trees and learn about trees! https://www.arborday.org/
