Planting carbon dioxide sucking carbon credit trees is not something to be undertaken lightly. After extensive calculation I had determined that 73 trees was an auspicious number and would balance perfectly on the delicate high wire of our global eco-system.
When Viejo and I went to get the trees we discovered that to get the best discount on the 2 gallon trees we needed to purchase 4 more…We would actually save money getting 77 trees instead of 73…
Now, being a Capitalist Pig first and a Born Again Climate Changer second, I made the executive decision that 4 extra trees was no big deal.
Ahhhh…the hubris of Man…
Understand, this may look like an ordinary innocent olive tree to you but in truth it is a carbon dioxide devouring oxygen belching MACHINE that is not to be trifled with. Seconds after this photo was snapped Piper approached too close to the tree, sniffed it, and fell over in a hyper-oxygenated stupor. I had to bag her with an empty sweet feed sack to get her oxygen levels back down to normal.
Here is a picture of Piper receiving her first post trauma Occupational Safety Training seminar. I am explaining the hyper-oxygenated/carbon dioxide deficiency danger zone implications to her. Fighting Climate Change is serious business and should only be attempted by trained professionals. Children, don’t try this at home.
