Apology\"DSC09958\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve used a lot of paper,<\/p>\n

I know that\u2019s pretty bad,<\/p>\n

and when I think about it<\/p>\n

it makes me kind of sad.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve pondered on the problem,<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve thought about it hard<\/p>\n

and that used up realms of paper<\/p>\n

and stacks and stacks of card.\"DSC09979\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve racked my brains and wondered<\/p>\n

what could one person do?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve paced and agonized,<\/p>\n

as I\u2019m sure you have too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And then one frosty night<\/p>\n

in the Marquis pub,<\/p>\n

some of us were brainstorming<\/p>\n

fueled by beer and grub\"DSC09978\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And so we hit upon it!<\/p>\n

Yippee! Yippee! we cried,<\/p>\n

we\u2019ve got a good solution<\/p>\n

and one we haven\u2019t tried.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We could offset our footprint<\/p>\n

and plant a tree to grow\"DSC09967\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and there and then we dubbed it<\/p>\n

with the name you all now know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019re sorry for the paper used,<\/p>\n

this is contrition that you see.<\/p>\n

We hope the earth will accept<\/p>\n

our heartfelt apolo-tree.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
