If 10,000 SF Biters green their sidewalks with just two trees, in a year it'll be equivalent to taking 1,220 cars off the road.
Author Shel Silverstein was a cartoonist for Stars and Stripes, the U.S. military's newspaper, while stationed in Japan and Korea in the 1950s.
Where the Sidewalk Ends
The Bite:
They say there's a place where the sidewalk ends
Though in SF, it can be hard to find.
But Plant SF's gonna show you, dear friends,
How your sidewalk can be one-of-a-kind.
Its two-day class will show you the ropes
On landscaping and applying for a permit,
Replacing cement with shrubs, trees, and hopes
(And you might meet your neighbors, you hermit.)
With a slight bit of green, we can up the earth's health
More plants on the streets - less CO2.
It'll show you how to bust up that concrete yourself
With this hands-on class, you just can't lose.
