Low-Allergenic Tree Planted for Each New Player, Up to 20,000 Trees. Does it seem that allergy season starts earlier and there's more pollen every year? Many scientists now believe that global climate change could be partly to blame. To educate people about nasal allergies and the environment, the makers of NASONEX (mometasone furoate monohydrate) Nasal Spray, 50 mcg have teamed up with American Forests, a national tree-planting organization. Together they have launched "Don't Blow It" (dontblowit.com) a fun and educational online health game with tips for nasal allergy sufferers. For each new player of the game, Schering-Plough will donate funds to plant a low-allergenic tree,2 up to 20,000 trees, across the U.S. Low-allergenic trees rank five or below on the Ogren Plant-Allergy Scale (OPALS). Once mature, 20,000 trees are estimated to absorb nearly 1 million pounds of carbon dioxide per year. less
