Editorial: Arbor Day Foundation wastes trees

They&8217;re still doing it.

In March of last year we editorialized how the National Arbor Day Foundation regularly mails us five copies of the same press release in five envelopes.

&8220;One envelope was addressed to columnist Love Cruikshank, another to staff writer Ed Shannon, another to lifestyles editor Geri McShane, yet another to former staff writer Peter Cox and finally one to former editor Dylan Belden. In addition, all were addressed to the Albert Lea Tribune,&8221; we wrote.

Well, nothing has changed since then. If Arbor Day press flacks don&8217;t read our paper edition, perhaps they will catch this editorial on our treeless edition, www.AlbertLeaTribune.com.

Like we said in March, it strikes us as odd that an organization dedicated to trees wastes so many of them in getting a message out.

Pardon the small type. We wanted to give the matter five times the attention.
