See all the Dell hate, I can plant a tree myself (for under $2) in this thread:

I have no problem with this program. Good for them. Plus, they dump $4 into each tree since it is about $6/tree.

Probably somewhere on Michael Dell's 300+ acre estate... someone has to pay for his collection of rare Japanese maples and cherry trees...

tree farm....

It will be cut down in 20 years or so and another will be planted, that is how we get paper / wood products. We have no shortage of trees in the US.

Nope, no shortage of trees, but old growth forest is still cut down for paper and lumber.

That's what I did--Planted trees so that I could learn how to cut them down. :D
