Good Gift: Arbor Day celebration trees

Musical visionary and eco-activist Beatie Wolfe has beamed her music into space, set NASA climate data to music, featured with R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe on the world’s first commercially available bioplastic record (which is produced by Brian Eno) and is working to preserve music with the Global Music Vault.

“Agift I find myself continually returning to is the gift of planting trees for others from the Arbor Day Foundation. You can get a printed card sent to the recipient but I prefer to save the paper and go with a digital PDF. You can either pick the forest these trees are planted in or choose ‘a forest of great need’, which is my preferred option. And people seem to be really happy with their celebration trees so it’s a win-win. If you buy the new book from CEO Dan Lambe, Now Is the Time for Trees, the Arbor Day Foundation will plant one tree for each book sold.
