Back off, Los Angeles — we need those trees
October 24, 2008 at 5:59 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsThis thing is getting close, you treehuggers, and there are only eight days left to make a difference.
Atlanta, with the cooperation of Trees Atlanta, is participating in American Express’ “Roots For Your City” campaign in which such cities as Chicago, Miami and New York City compete for the lion’s share of a $1 million grant from the credit company. Each time you make a purchase with your American Express card, Atlanta’s chances improve.
And of the eight participating cities swiping their cards to win, we’re second only to some place called Los Angeles, where dogs are bred in petri dishes to be as tiny as hamsters. We must not lose to this mysterious land of heathens!
Click here to see which Atlanta businesses are participating. If you have shopping planned for this weekend, be sure to check them out.
