Atlanta Wins $300,000 to Plant Trees
November 21, 2008 | 5:30 pmWheatley informs us that Atlanta won the American Express “Root For Your City” contest, which awarded the major U.S. city with the most credit card usage $300,000 to plant native trees.
Pretty cool! The more carbon-dioxide sucking trees the better!
Wonder where they will put them!…right up to the Decatur border…
oh well, good news!
Trees Atlanta will be thrilled…this is good news
I wonder if there’s any connection between Atlanta having “the highest credit card usage” and the fact that Georgia has more banks on the Fed’s watchlist than any other state, as well as a pretty hefty foreclosure rate. While the trees will be nice, somehow it doesn’t seem like the right time to be rewarding the use of credit!
