8 million trees naturally sounds like a lot when out of context,

To add insult to injury, this like saying this is going to save
_thousands_ of puppies every month! How the heck does one figure
how many trees you save?!? Who's burning trees to generate
electricity?
I'm pretty sure we'd save a lot more trees/puppies/lives if all
the overweight people loose a few pounds. I propose we make the
desktop graphic promote that idea given that it costs nothing to
do and yet can have such a potential good effect on the planet.
