See Pearl Jam plant trees

Mother Nature Network reports that band Pearl Jam will offset their carbon output from last year's tour by planting trees.
Pearl Jam has announced a donation of $210,000 to the Cascade Land Conservancy (CLC), a Seattle-based organization that works to conserve natural areas and restore neighborhood trails and parks. The donation will offset the carbon emissions from the band's 2009 tour and lead to the planting of 33-acres of native trees and plants around Puget Sound.

According to calculations from the CLC, the band's 32-date tour produced 5,474 metric tons of CO2.
