Currents | Tools: Count the Reasons to Hug a Tree

05.01.09

It’s not a mystery that trees are good for the environment, and the Forest Service’s Center for Urban Forest Research has a software program to compute that benefit. The Tree Carbon Calculator uses data like a tree’s age and location to see how much carbon dioxide it captures from the atmosphere and how much its shade reduces the energy needed for cooling. The program, equipped for California but to be updated nationwide by summer, was created to guide cities, utilities and schools that want to plant trees, said Greg McPherson, the center’s director. But homeowners can use it, too. He entered data about the London plane tree outside his office in Davis, Calif., and learned that each year it captures 113 pounds of carbon and saves his building 162 kilowatt-hours in energy, “relatively good numbers.” The calculator can be downloaded at www.fs.fed.us/psw. To understand your results, comparative data is at www.fs.fed.us/psw/publications under the first “Publication List.” STEVEN KURUTZ.

Currents | Walls: From Idle Days, Patterns Emerge

05.01.09

The New York decorator Katie Ridder spends Augusts in Mishaum Point, Mass., a seaside town with not a lot of action, she said. So each year she and her children find a project: one summer, they quilted; another, they made shell necklaces. Two years ago, they began to design wallpaper, an ambitious endeavor that stretched beyond the summer vacation. “It was a very slow process,” Ms. Ridder said, “because I’m not an artist.” (Some would dispute that: her painterly interiors have an exotic Moorish flavor with many handmade elements, like stenciled walls and block-print fabrics.).
