This is a repost from my old post on April 20th. *Sigh* I just got around to buying my trees. *slaps my own hands* Better late than never...OLD POST:
I ran across an interesting article about a newly opened sim. SECOND CHANCE TREE ISLAND. The constant new ideas that our being brought into SL that affect RL issues astound me. Here’s the jist:
A Second life sim is celebrating Earth Day on April 22 by letting residents plant a virtual tree, and help preserve the world’s rainforests without ever leaving SL.
The Second Life Second Chance Trees Project, located on Second Chance Trees island opened one week ago, and gives residents the option to purchase one of ten rainforest trees in SL for the cost of L$300. For every one purchased in-world, Plant-It 2020 will plant a real tree in its native rainforest, bringing reforestation into the virtual world. The island also has information on the different trees and environments they live in while exploring the island and viewing the various multimedia presentations, helping to educate residents on these endangered areas as well as working to preserve them.

I planted three "Pink Shower" trees tonight for me & Hawks. GO PLANT SOME! It's fun & benefits RL rainforests. :D
