Branch #669 in Garland, Texas plant trees at the branch to help the environment.

Planting one tree for every vehicle or truck that branch #669 owns is the first step to calibrating the team’s carbon footprint, a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide. Tommy Black, outside sales representative, is a licensed arborist who led the initiative and planted ten trees on the property. Located in an industrial area, branch #669 now has a more welcoming appearance. “Individuals experience positive psychological effects from green spaces,” said Black. “The trees minimize the overwhelming presence of steel and concrete and make the branch more inviting to customers.”
