Dateline: Chicago
In the Great North for the weekend, I keep hearing about how Chicago is doing great things with trees and greenspace. I just heard a radio commercial for a fundraiser/event thing for dining out. Select restaurants were donating certain proceeds to Chicago's version of Friends of the Urban Forest and then there was going to be a follow up so trees would get planted.
Imagine, promoting local businesses and the economy, while supporting the greening of the urban landscape, at no cost to the city... What a concept! Sheesh. I thought the Left Coast was supposed to be on the leading edge.
