Nerds compete in video game tournament, plant trees

WorldWinner is a company known for holding many competitive video-game tournaments for cash and prizes. Well, it seems that the company has struck up a deal with Mother Nature (or, rather, the Arbor Day Foundation). Here's the word from the press release.

Throughout the month of September, WorldWinner will plant a tree each time a player enters a special edition Play, Plant & Protect tournament to benefit the Arbor Day Foundation.

Gamers will compete in such games as Solitaire Rush, Bejeweled 2, Big Money, SwapIt!, Dynomite, SCRABBLE Cubes, Spades, Cubis and Bookworm. Players can also expect some sort of green theme to go along with everything.

But good luck planting all of those trees. I hear some of those Nintendo enthusiasts haven't exactly grasped that concept yet. Ahem.
