As a volunteer, Charlie Starbuck has helped to plant trees by the thousands on the streets of San Francisco, a city long on charm but short on leafy green trees. He has volunteered for a citywide tree-planting program since 1981, nearly without interruption. That's almost 30 years of weekly plantings, without pay, come rain or shine. "He's done it in such a modest way. Week after week. He's the Lou Gehrig of tree planting." [ more ]Today's Tip: Go out and plant a tree. Find a tree-planting organization to volunteer with in your community and let the spirit carry over to everyone involved. Go to the Arbor Day Foundation site to find one in your community!
How sweet of him.
