A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE OBSERVANCE OF
ARBOR DAY TO BE MAY 1, 1999
WHEREAS, trees use up excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and turn it into
life-giving oxygen; and
WHEREAS, trees help conserve energy; that is, three properly planted trees
around a home can cut air conditioning bills by ten to fifteen percent; and
WHEREAS, trees turn urban "heat islands" into cool and comfortable "oasis",
making the concrete jungle livable for all of us; and
NOW, THERE BE IT RESOLVED by the Shorewood City Council that the
citizens of Shorewood are encouraged to observe Saturday, May I, 1999 as Arbor Day by
planting a tree and thereby hoping to ensure a green Shorewood and Minnesota in
decades to come.

this 26th day of April, 1999.
