Tree$

Central Park

This story from the New York Times is pretty interesting. Apparently some economists have come up with a way of measuring the economic value of trees. The measurement is based on 1) how much trees add to property values, and 2) the amount of CO2 they remove from the air. The key number is that for every dollar you invest in trees, you get five in return. Pretty solid investment. Time to get some shrubbery.
