NATIONAL NEWS
How trees pay us back
(Richfield, OH)- Growers, landscapers, arborists and the entire green  
industry understand that trees matter. Yet we sometimes undersell the  
power of this message. Though we hear a great deal about the greening  
of America, somehow this does not always translate to the original  
green industry for our customers. Instead "green" for most people  
tends to mean renewable energy, recycling, carpooling and hybrid  
vehicles- all good things, but not what we mean by the green industry.
