If I was doing this right, this story would be a headline on the front page of the NYT every day by now, and people wouldn't be mowing acres of lawns with 2-stroke engines, blowing the remnants of clippings with gasoline-fueled machines, and rickoshaying around with giddy abandon on powerboats and quads, for fun.Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-23943291942298696312009-08-20T01:26:25.567-04:002009-08-20T01:26:25.567-04:00Hi Gail,

The paragraphs on ethanol and PANs are a distraction from the purpose of the letter. You want to find out what is stressing the trees.<br /><br />I hope you get some responses to your letter.Paul Kellyhttp://replacefossil.comnoreply@blogger.com
