RESOLUTION NO. 07- 022
A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING APRIL 27, 2007, AS ARBOR DAY
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.
NOW, THERE BE IT RESOLVED by the Shorewood City Council that the
City of Shorewood hereby proclaims Friday, April 27, 2007, as the 135th anniversary
celebration of Arbor Day in the City of Shorewood, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Shorewood City Council encourages
all residents of Shorewood to celebrate Arbor Day by protecting our trees and woodlands,
and planting a tree, thereby hoping to ensure a green Shorewood and Minnesota in
decades to come.
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHOREWOOD,
this 26th day of March, 2007.
