Okay, it's a good idea anyway.
That being said, the Detroit Free Press article about the NFL planting trees in Detroit to offset pollution caused by the Superbowl is stretching credulity.
Let's get the obvious out of the way (tip of the hat to Mandy Carlson)... most of the trees (all?) will be absolutely dormant... doing nothing... zilch, zip, nada... while all of the pollution from the extra 3,000 people in Detroit to see the Superbowl is going on.
So I guess we can consider the new trees as a long-term payback for the extra CO2 from the buses and cars... well, the cars anyway... that will be idling to find parking spaces that are not a mile away from the stadium.
God, I love political correctness... even if it only makes sense by accident.
