AUDIE CORNISH, HOST: 


Need a distraction 1 from the news?


ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: 


We have one.


CORNISH: It's a reminder 2 of the good things in life that are free.


SHAPIRO: Another commercial for Nicer Living.


(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)


UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: I used to worry about what I was breathing in - oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide. And then I discovered trees.


UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #1: Tree.


UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: (Whispering) Trees.


UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: (Whispering) Trees.


UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Yes. Natural trees with their photosynthetic 3 respiration 4 helping 5 to produce just the right blend of the breathable atmosphere that our bodies need.


UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #1: Trees.


UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: (Whispering) Trees.


UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: (Whispering) Trees.


UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #3: (Whispering) Trees.


UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #4: Trees may not be right for everybody. Side effects include tree houses, tire swings, fruit, shade and woodworking. Please consult your biome before selecting a tree. Not every tree is right for every biome. Enjoy trees responsibly.


UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: All natural, safe and effective trees - now with chlorophyll, available on a planet under you.


SHAPIRO: And that radio ad was written by Adam Drake of Broken Arrow, Okla., one of the thousands - literally 6, thousands of suggestions that you all sent in.


CORNISH: And one of the five we selected...


SHAPIRO: For our commercials for a Nicer Living project.


CORNISH: We'll hear two others later this week.
