NATIONAL NEWS
London To Plant 2 Million Trees By 2025 Under Green Plan
(London)- In an effort to fend off a projected temperature rise in  
London in the next several decades, the mayor of London's environment  
advisor announced a plan to increase the amount of tree. A recent  
study by The UK Climate Impacts Programme concluded that increasing  
the amount of plants and trees could offset rising temperatures. The  
planting of two million new trees in the city amounts to an increase  
of five percent of the city's tree population.

LOCAL STORY
Businesses raise money for new trees
(Galveston, TX)- A group of downtown business owners is hosted a  
street party to raise money to buy trees for the island's replanting  
efforts. The free event, featuring live music and food, was part of  
the citywide Hurricane Ike remembrance activities. The storm killed an  
estimated 30,000 trees, denuding much of the island's core urban area  
of its 100-year-old leafy canopy. The city's tree committee is working  
on replanting efforts, which will start in November.
