CHRIS MARTIN - CHRIS MARTIN PRAISES FORESTS

CHRIS MARTIN of COLDPLAY, DAVE GROHL of the FOO FIGHTERS, and 3-D from MASSIVE ATTACK are some of the musicians who have planted forests in order to save the planet.

The FUTURE FORESTS scheme was set up by late CLASH frontman JOE STRUMMER, amongst others, who helped come up with the concept of 'carbon neutrality' - meaning you don't increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment, thought to be a major factor of global warming.

The IN MY PLACE crooners have a forest in Bangalore, India and Martin is a keen proponent of the idea.

He says, "The greatest idea that anybody has come up with recently has nothing to do with the internet or cell phones or satellite TV. It's simply that we should plant more trees.

"Global warming, soil erosion and the destruction of so much wildlife are just some of the problems that are going to plague us more and more in years to come unless we don't keep planting trees at the rate we destroy them.

"That's why we think Future Forests are amazing!"
