Trees Not Trash is a neighborhood beautification project based in Bushwick/East Williamsburg, a once largely industrial area of Brooklyn that is becoming increasingly residential. Our mission is to transform this neighborhood into a community with green space. Trees clean the air, provide shade for people and animals, and create a sense of well-being. And duh, it's way better to have trees than trash.Since its inception, Trees Not Trash has been collecting signatures to have free street trees planted by the NYC Parks Department. Our efforts are paying off! So far, we've had 30 new trees planted in our neighborhood, and we look forward to having many more! We also take over abandoned lots, clear them of garbage and crap, and plant trees and plants in their place! Check out www.treesnottrash.org for more info and how to get involved!mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://lads.myspace.com/slides/slideshow_random.swf?u=1
