Dogs are being trained to smell greenhouse pests that threaten profits and our food supply. Using dogs for early detection of pests like aphids and caterpillars might help reduce production costs, increase harvests, and importantly total pesticide use – a win for farmers, consumers, and the environment. This works because each pest has its own odor which dogs can be trained to identify. And a dog with a job is a happy dog.

The FAO estimates that 40% of all crops are lost each year to insect pests and more than $70 billion is spent controlling pest invasions. Hope for my dog?

Trella is excited to announce that we will hold our 2nd World Earth Day Art Competition. The main goal of this competition is for humans to pay attention to their ever-changing environment and recognize their role in it. We invite participants to capture their environments through various media. We hope the exhibition will raise awareness for environmental issues and the importance of environmental preservation, and ultimately spark conservation action.

Participants are invited to create works of art that align with the topic of the environment. Some examples include: forests, urban nature, tourism, health, climate change, waste, energy, and consumption.

We are excited to see this year’s submissions which are due on May 10th.

Here’s a great progress video of the Taizhou team on Earth Day🌏🌱🌳

The trees being transported are 1 year old. The trees delayed planting was due to renovation of the South Field’s irrigation.

The workers pull the trees from the tray, do a quick sorting on height/caliper, trim their roots and then put them in crates. The crates are hauled out to the field where other workers do the planting.

New York City’s 40,000 cherry trees are slowly beginning to bloom. Once a tree starts blooming, it’ll hold its blossoms for about 10 days. But when, exactly, each tree begins to flower depends on a mix of daylight and temperature, which is hard to predict. Most of New York’s cherry trees are in bloom by mid-April, though certain types bud a bit earlier or later.
Take a look at the ’s daily CherryWatch tracker that informs viewers which trees are in pre-bloom, first bloom (when about 10% of its flowers are open), peak bloom (50% open), or post-peak bloom (10% left).
Check out Instagram account for a guide to the most common types of cherry blossoms in NYC. Every borough has its own collection of cherry blossoms, so be sure to check the NYC parks department map to find the exact locations of the cherry blossom trees.

New York City’s Citizens Air Complaint Program is a clean-air program that allows people to report commercial vehicles that are parked and idling for more than three minutes, or one minute outside a school. Those who report infractions by submitting a video can collect 25 percent of the fine collected by the city — $87.50 on a $350 fine. A growing number of people have turned this opportunity into a side gig, and the program has increased the number of complaints of idling trucks from just a handful before its creation in 2018 to more than 12,000 last year. The city paid more than $724,000 in bounties last year alone, and $1.1 million since 2019. For its share, the city collected $2.4 million in fines last year, up 24 percent from when the program began in earnest three years ago. Idling vehicles in the United States are believed to collectively expel millions of tons of carbon dioxide a year, and researchers have estimated that eliminating excessive idling from personal vehicles alone would have a similar impact to taking 5 million of the country’s 250 million cars off the streets.

Above are photos from the early events held by schools in Trella's 2022 100 Tree Project. Each ceremony was successful and saw participation from students of all grade levels. The main goals for the 100 Trees Project are to increase biodiversity while providing a deeper understanding of environmental stewardship and conservation for students. Trella wants to emphasize how youth are part of the environmental solutions. March 12th represents China’s annual National Tree-planting Day. In honor of the holiday, Trella is excited to announce that on Saturday, we will partner with 30 schools from all over the country to host tree-planting ceremonies.

If you celebrate Christmas, it is important to plan for and consider the environmental impact of your Christmas tree. Approximately 32.8 million real trees and 23.6 artificial ones are sold in the U.S. each year. While some may think an artificial tree is more sustainable because it saves a real fir tree, the production of artificial trees has a particularly significant environmental impact. A new artificial tree would need to be reused for at least 10 years to keep its environmental impact lower than that of a real tree. According to the Carbon Trust, nearly 66% of emissions generated by plastic trees come from the carbon-intensive oil they are produced from, while 25% of its emissions come from the manufacturing process. The majority of trees are made from PVC plastic that is extremely difficult to recycle, and the production process creates hazardous waste and airborne pollution. In comparison, a real Christmas tree takes approximately 5-10 years to complete growing, and once the tree is cut, all carbon dioxide taken in by the tree is lost. Commercial Christmas tree farms often harm ecosystems due to the heavily sprayed herbicides used to kill surrounding vegetation. Herbicides disrupt the carbon balance in the soil and release more carbon into the atmosphere than the tree ever collects. Christmas tree consumption is a complex issue with multiple ecological impacts to balance, so please think twice when selecting your Christmas tree this year. Merry Christmas! 🎄 ❄️ 🌲
