Hundreds of trees are being planted by pupils at a Jersey school as part efforts to shrink the island s carbon footprints.
The Tiny Forest of 600 native trees at Hautlieu School, measuring roughly the size of a tennis court, will absorb 30 times more carbon-dioxide and grow five times quicker than other woodland.
The pupils will monitor the environmental impact of the plot over the coming years as part of their studies.
Students from Hautlieu are being taught the importance of sequestration and carbon absorption as part of the International Baccalaureate Environmental Systems and Societies course and these types of citizen science projects really help put learning into practice.
A New Fresh Produce Market Opening in Billings
Michael Foth ~ Townsquare Meda Billings
The Produce Market is located in a portion of the former Stewarts House of Vacuums building at 1812 Grand Avenue next door to Cadillac Jax. Owned by Billings couple Tim and Sharli Swinehart, their website states a commitment to providing quality local fruits, vegetables and meats as much as possible,
We have a philosophy of simplicity. All of our products are simple, real, and delicious. We source primarily Montana-made items, and work with local farmers and producers as often as we can!
Peaking through the windows of the not-quite-ready-to-open business today I could see a display unit stocked with what appears to be jams or jellies and honey. There is a large walk-in cooler on one side of the store. Bins (waiting to be filled with veggies or other items) occupy the center of the shop.
