    A plan to plant 1 million trees in the Big Apple will be part the massive global-warming blueprint Hizzoner unveils today.

    He proposes to more than triple the tree-planting budget to $37.5 million to achieve the million-tree goal by 2017.

    They would be planted along streets, and in parks and vacant lots – “every single place where it is possible to plant a street tree,” vowed Deputy Mayor Dan Doctoroff yesterday.

    Bloomberg will announce the rest of his “PlaNYC: A Greener Greater New York” proposals, which will include clean air and transportation initiatives, this afternoon. [NYpost]

    be careful not chain any bike to a tree, a few yrs ago the park department issued fines to bike owners who used the trees to mount their bikes.
