This is fantastic news and shows that the environment is something we all feel connected to. Regardless of what you believe about climate change and its causes, our connection to this planet and our responsibilty as good stewards to her is undeniable. Hopefully, these trees being planted will be able to balance out the losses we are suffering through deforestation. Only when we do see the higher consciousness and the moral imperatives involved in taking care of our home will we see the solutions before us. I have been proud to be a part of Tree Nation in helping to plant trees in Niger and will continue to be involved with that initiative in the coming year. I think the U.S. Congress should also announce a major tree planting initiative in this country to help further that goal in the coming year. Trees are the lungs of our planet and provide us with sustinence, coolness, water, food, inspiration, spiritual renewal, and are a home to many other species. My heart is with the trees, so to read this is so gratifying. Perhaps there is hope afterall. http://www.greenbeltmovement.org/ The Green Belt Movement site, founded by Dr. Wangari Maathai.

You too can be part of the solution. You can plant your own trees and also work to make your city a Tree City, U.S.A.
