I {heart} New York. I also {heart} trees.

There were 382 new customers who joined in November. Emma plants five trees for each new customer. If you just did the math in your head, and you came up with 1,910 trees, you’re right. And you’re pretty good at math.

Those trees are headed to New York State, thanks to the votes received last month on this blog. Our tree-planting partner, Plant-It 2020, will plant half of November’s trees in the Empire State; the other half will go in an equatorial region of Plant-It 2020′s choice.

When we started this tree-planting thing this year, we hoped to be able to plant 10,000 trees, and we’ve doubled that (20,015) and there’s still a month to go. Plant-It 2020 only lists 12 states where it plants trees, and only four have yet to be chosen by voters on this blog. One of them is getting December’s trees. Tell us where.

Trees, meet New York. New York, trees.

As a part of our continuing efforts to plant a whole lotta trees in 2008, we’ve just asked our friends at Plant-It 2020 to send 1,920 indigenous saplings in honor of the 383 folks who joined Emma in April (like who?). Those trees are heading to the state of New York, where you voted to plant April’s trees. Where May’s trees go is up to you, as always:

Oh, and thanks to all the lovely people who joined us in April. By signing up with Emma for their email marketing, they’re not only planting *new* trees – they’re also doing something nice for *all* trees by sending paperless email newsletters and campaigns.
