Shade from two large trees on west side of house can save up to 30% of typical residence's air conditioning bill By Barbara Armitage GIGO Diary of a Recycler: Everyday we are going to follow my garbage to see just how close I can come to eliminating my contribution the landfills in America Today is Tuesday March 18, 2008.

I choose this particular tree because it is very fast growing, lives a long time and turns a beautiful red color in the fall.
