National Geographic magazine has reported a sudden drop in the CO2 levels in the atmosphere, maybe because of the pandemic, but hopefully because forests are being replanted. The recent âwe are in this togetherâ attitudes of major industrial polluters may bode well for other aspects of world health. While the big guys worry about the planet, the little guys, us, can do our part in minor steps taken often. Small, but consistent is also effective for planet lovers.
With that in mind, the family of recently deceased Bill Braswell, planted a 6-foot-tall Lignum vitae tree in the extensive gardens of his residence of 1800 Atlantic Condominiums, where a small plaque will make it forever known as âBillâs Tree.â A service in remembrance of Bill will be held by his friends and relatives. This tree could grow to 50 feet in height and survive hundreds of years. The one at the Key West Garden Club has a 2-foot in diameter trunk.
