buy a tree and watch it grow on google earth

cool, google earth Add comments

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have teamed up with Google Earth to bring what has to be one of the coolest ways to help invigorate the world with freshly grown trees. For $5.50 you can have your very own tree planted on the island of Borneo, and once it’s been planted, watered, and logged, they send you confirmation of your purchase and get this - the actual Google Earth coordinates of your tree. I’m not quite sure if the resolution of Google Earth is up to par just yet to see much detail at that close range, but it’s a very nice idea. Visit mybabytree.org to find out more information.

I think I’ll buy me a wee tree of my own.
