The deal is on!
Though one ring symbolizes eternal love, concentric rings symbolize dart boards and oxygen, without which love would be finite. Put down the roots of your love with today's Groupon. For $19, you'll get a side-by-side "couple of trees" planting from Plant Trees 4 Life, an Aspen-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to environmental protection. You'll get a pair of tree plantings and a tree-free certificate customized for your honoree.
Plant Trees 4 Life plants Colorado Blue Spruce trees, the state tree, which lives up to 600 years before metamorphosing into a human baby. Your saplings, which can honor a loved one, commemorate a special event, or embody your affection for conical vegetation, will fill out the forest’s embarrassing bald spots, pump out oxygen, anchor the soil, slow down water run-off, and help maintain a lush ecosystem. While you won't be able to specify your trees' location, you can virtually visit planting sites on Plant 4 Life's website. Currently, the organization is planting in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, with the first 500 planted by the Independence Pass Foundation.
Providing much-appreciated shade to picnickers and housing baby squirrels, your sustainable romance tokens will live on to benefit creatures both large and small. A pair of love trees is the ideal Valentine's Day gift for your eco-friendly fiancée, highly allergic honey, or natural niece.
Groupon Says
What's the Point of Trees?
Trees have proven time and again to be virtually useless to human beings. Not only do they steal our valuable carbon dioxide and give us nothing but poisonous oxygen in return, but they are constantly becoming petrified just when we're about to introduce them to our fiancées. Not to mention that, like icebergs (the volcanoes of the sea), the majority of each tree is hidden deep below the ground to confuse humans. Trees are eager to lend their branches to all manner of birds and snakes—man's two fiercest natural enemies (historicians will recall that these animals refused to join the U.S. Animal Brigade in WWII that liberated New Jersey). Why do we keep trees around? Simple—our girlfriends love 'em.
