But what if you don't WANT the globe to cool?

Landscape Structures to Offer Play That Cools the Globe™ [by an unspecified amount]
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Landscape Structures Inc., the nation’s premier manufacturer of playground equipment for elementary schools and city parks, announces that it has entered into a partnership with American Forests, the nation’s oldest non-profit citizens’ conservation organization, to actively offset the carbon dioxide produced in the manufacturing of each of its playsystems. For each Evos™, PlayBooster® and PlayShaper® playsystem purchased in 2008, Landscape Structures will calculate the total amount of CO2 (a greenhouse gas) produced in the manufacturing process, and then have trees planted through American Forests’ Global ReLeaf initiative to offset that amount of CO2. Landscape Structures is the only playground equipment company in the world that compiles and publishes the amount of carbon dioxide that it produces in its manufacturing of each playsystem. In 2008, Landscape Structures expects to plant tens of thousands of trees at Global ReLeaf’s major tree restoration sites throughout the United States.
