Supreme Court rules Georgia can’t put the law behind a paywall A narrowly divided US Supreme Court on Monday upheld the right to freely share the official law code of Georgia. The state claimed to own the copyright for the Official Code of Georgia Annotated and sued a nonprofit called Public.Resource.Org for publishing it online. Monday's ruling is not only a victory for the open-government group, it's an important precedent that will help secure the right to publish other legally significant public documents. "Officials empowered to speak with the force of law cannot be the authors of—and therefore cannot copyright—the works they create in the course of their official duties," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts in an opinion that was joined by four other justices on the nine-member court. Everyone involved in the case agreed that the text of state statutes could not be copyrighted. The copyright status of the annotated code matters because the state doesn't publish any other official version. The group's gamble paid off—but just barely.

Forest Landowners Guide to Tree Planting Success Planting trees is visionary Imagine a forest where there was once pasture, or woodland where there were once crops. Imagine a healthy, diverse forest, resistant to insects, fire, and disease, that will contribute to the property for generations. Planting trees has many benefits: improved wildlife habitat, high-quality trees for timber or specialty wood products, revegetated buffers along streams to protect water quality, increased species diversity and resiliency, enhanced attractiveness, and a more valuable estate for your family or heirs. Many view tree planting as an opportunity to leave behind a legacy--one that may benefit future generations, wildlife, and the environment. Most often, forests regenerate and old fields grow up in trees without our intervention. Desired results are often evident in as little as 5 years following planting; the planted area will begin to transform into a forest. Figure 1.

:: CitizenAudit.org Project Gutenberg Yes, Trees Are a Viable Climate Solution If there was one unlikely buzzword to come out of the most recent gathering of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, it was “tree-planting.” WEF launched a global initiative to “grow, restore and conserve 1 trillion trees around the world,” with the support of leaders like United States President Donald Trump, primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall, and Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff. Claire O’Neill, the chair of this year’s UN climate conference, praised the campaign and tweeted, “we will put the power of natural climate solutions at the heart of COP 26.” But this surge of support for reforestation and natural climate solutions brought with it accusations of corporate greenwashing and misinformation about what natural climate solutions can accomplish. Let’s go through a few points that critics have raised: “Planting trees is not enough to prevent climate change.” Natural climate solutions cover more than 20 different activities, not just tree-planting.
