I just noticed for the first time ever that MySpace has started an "Impact" section of the site! Check it out, it's really cool. It is just about people who are working to better the planet in one way or another. It also gives you a section to nominate someone you see is making an impact! NOMINATE THIS GUY:
Due to current severe changes in our Earth’s environment, it has become clear that the human race must transform rapidly and do something equally as tremendous in order to maintain a well-balanced existence with our Planet. One of the most effective and natural methods for detoxifying our Planet comes to us as a magnificent gift from Japan called the Kiri Tree or Princess Tree(also referred to as paulownia), which is also referred to as the Japanese Empress Tree, and the Paulownia Tree. The benefits of this tree are boundless and amazing. Not only does the Kiri Tree absorb ten times more CO2 than any other tree but also, it soaks up toxicity in the air, dirt, and water and then expels a massive amount of Oxygen. In fact, the Kiri Tree flourishes and loves toxic soil and water. It is safe to say that it is the fastest growing tree on the planet. When planted from a seed and grown for eight years, it will be the same size as a 40-year-old Oak tree.
Can you believe the seeds of Kiri Trees are so tiny and grow up to be GIANTS??
These very unique characteristics make the Kiri Tree the perfect tree for Texas. Texas suffers from extremely contaminated soil, air, and water, which have a harmful effect on all of its residents. So, in order to get the Kiri Tree Revolution started in Texas, Chris Sanders and Brittany Turner have begun planting seeds and clones to see which genetics will be the toughest survivors in the Texas climate. This Wonder Tree can help purify Texas and make it Green again! It is such a blessing that the Kiri Tree loves toxicity, lots of sunshine, and will reduce the CO2 levels in our environment. Since no one has planted Kiri Trees in Texas yet, Chris and Brita will be taking pictures and documenting all of the activity so that we have the knowledge to help plant these trees all over Texas and eventually all over the United States!
Thank you for the birthday wish! I've told so many people about the Kiri tree--since you've introduced me to it! We need to plant them all over Phoenix too!!! :)
This is the tree that can change the quality of our atmosphere! 10 times more oxygen and it reduces C02 10 times more than any other tree! - Growing Kiri & Paulownia Trees in Texas!

It took a while, but FINALLY the book “How The Land of Litter Became the Kingdom of Clean” can be purchased online with a credit card.
We have set up an online store so you can purchase this wonderful book for them right now on the internet. Just come to our online store, order the book as would at any secure site, and it will be shipped to you.
We sow the seeds today - and our goal is to plant one million of these trees in the United States this year! For Clean Fresh - Air! Do you want to take part in the action? If so visit us at: http://www.sustainableangels.com/kiri.htm
Thank you Brittany for helping us plant more trees!
