1. Palms in commercials
Did you see the recent Accenture commercial, titled 'Walking Tree'?
In the 30 second spot, it features the species Socratea exorrhiza, common name The Walking Palm.
The ad really hit home for me!

Whatever increases the planting of palm trees sounds like a great idea to me! Read article here.
Thanks again for being a member of Project Palm!
