DIY tree attack!
Teamed up with an a Dutch ad agency, a group of European environmental activists have come up with a plan to give the world's forests a way to fight back. Their goal: take tree-planting to the streets guerrilla style.
The group's website actually provides an official manual for guerrilla tree-planting, although the idea is pretty self-explanatory. What's not so clear, however, is how this equates to 'taking a stand against illegal logging.' It seems more like having some jackasses come and tear a hole in your sidewalk to me. Not that I don't think that sounds like a lot of fun -- I'm just not sure how that effects illegal logging operations in Indonesia.
The process goes something like this: buy a tree, borrow a wheelbarrow, find a nice piece of ground, and plant that sucker with some kind of barricade advertising the website around it. Oh yeah, and take lots pictures or video. Reminds me of that group in Stockholm that lets the air out of your SUV's tires.
