LIN Mark started Evergreen Indoor Gardens in 2000. They supply indoor plants to businesses and maintain them on a weekly basis. In 2005 Lin purchased the sole distributorship of Silksense, which are silk flowers set in clear gel in glass vases. These various arrangements are rented and rotated on a monthly basis, so every month you can have a different arrangement.

If you could give up your current job and become a full-time activist, what cause would you fight for?

Definitely very close to my heart is the abuse of women and children, which I can strongly relate to.

What music do you listen to?

I enjoy playing one of my worship CDs in the morning before the staff arrive for work, to sort of get the day started the right way, otherwise I enjoy all kinds of music � not too fussy.

Moth has defoliated 77,000 acres this year

Ever since its introduction in New England more than a century ago for silk production, the gypsy moth has come a long way, and West Virginia officials are desperately trying to end its murderous advances in forests.This year alone, the Forest Management Review Commission learned Tuesday, the ravenous pest has eaten up 77,000 acres of trees, largely in the eastern part of the state.Clark Haynes, assistant director of forest health programs for the Division of Forestry, said the moth is among 50,000 species that have arrived in North America in the past four centuries."Only a very few became a serious problem," he said.The gypsy moth was introduced in 1869 in Massachusetts as a means of promoting silk production, and when a severe storm struck, the inspect spread throughout the country.Moths attack the foliage of a tree, largely the white oak, "and that's what stresses the tree and may end up killing it," Haynes told the interims panel.Haynes was unable to tell commission co-chairman, Sen.
