Post a Virtual Tree Today. Chevy Will Plant a Live One.

Hurricane Chevrolet, located at 200 Saturn Way Hurricane, WV 25526 has a riddle for you: How do you plant a tree without digging some soil and getting a little grubby? The answer: When you plant one virtually. And that's exactly what American Automaker Chevrolet is asking drivers in Hurricane and elsewhere in the world to do.

Like the social-media game FarmVille (still the rage among many Facebook users), Chevy's tree planting, or should we say posting, initiative allows participants to plant vegetation...specifically,  trees. Unlike FarmVille, the endeavor transforms all virtual trees into real trees.

No, we're not inferring this is some ethereal trick. Rather, with the help of the National Forest Foundation, Chevy has promised to plant one real tree for every virtual one posted on Facebook.

Together, Chevrolet and the National Forest Foundation with host this high-impact, green effort through the end of next year. In total, they will post up to 175,000 trees in national forests across the country. To top it all off, they're even covering the costs of the trees and labor.

Still wondering if your small effort is really worth it? Check this out!
