Clintar London Helps Keep Things Green
Al
Gore's
brief
visit
to
the
Forest
City
will
live
on
for
decades,
thanks
to
a
tree-planting
plan
stemming
from
his
climate
change
talk
in
London
last
week.
Nearly
two
dozen
of
the
royal
red
maples,
birches
and
locusts
that
decorated
the
convention
centre
will
be
planted
at
Parkwood
Hospital,
where
Clintar
London
has
done
landscape
maintenance
and
design
since
2003,
and
at
St.
Joseph's
Hospital.
"We're
practicing
Gore's
philosophy," said
Dave
Moore,
owner
of
Clintar
Groundskeeping.
Over
its
lifetime,
the
average
tree
absorbs
one
tonne
of
carbon
dioxide,
he
said.
All
the
leftover
seedlings
-
and
hundreds
more
donated
by
Clintar
and
other
local
nurseries
and
landscaping
companies
-
will
be
planted
along
Veterans
Memorial
Parkway
on
June
9
by
volunteers
with
ReForest
London.
