From our friends at Gulf Restoration Network:
It sounds like the plot of a cartoon . . .
Cypress swamps are clear-cut and entire trees are ground up to make cypress garden mulch. Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and Lowe's are driving destruction of the Gulf's best natural storm protection by selling cypress mulch all over the country. It's time they stopped.
For more information on the campaign and to learn about joining the Save Our Cypress Coalition, please visit www.saveourcypress.org.
These trees are so beautiful, can't believe they are turned into mulch for your garden.

Howdy DA!
Just wanted to make sure folks had the right link to take a look at our FLASH cartoon lampooning Wal-Mart, Lowe's & Home Depot and their corporate decision to sell garden mulch made of the Gulf Coast's best natural storm protection: Check it out here: http://healthygulf.org/save-ou...paign.html
We think it's a hoot! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll click (we hope!)
