Green is the New Black
We were at an event a week ago, hosted by Suka Design. It was a summer solstice party. When we arrived, we were given a nametag, which we were asked to fill in, and complete "I will plant my tree ...". I wrote "in Central Park" (always the pragmatist). Chis wrote "where it counts" (always the thoughtful one).
Today, we planted the trees in the gardens along the Hudson River Trail. We felt like criminals, but it had started to rain, and in our bike helmets, it seemed fitting to be planting a tree. They are very close together, but we will check on them in the fall, and if they have survived, we will transplant one further away. I cycle by the spot at the West Side Highway and 29th Street almost every day, and will sprinkle some water as I go by.
A little bit of green goes a long way.
