Tree Nation:Tree Planting Goal of 30,000 Set For 2008

For 2008, Tree Nation had to plan how many trees will go into their nursery in Niger. So they took the bet that their community will reach 30.000 trees to plant in August. The ultimate goal of Tree Nation is to plant 8 million trees in the shape of a heart in the heart of Niger to mitigate deforestation and poverty. A most worthy goal.

Planting trees is a simple yet effective way to offset the burning of fossil fuels that causes global warming/ climate change. Especially in Niger, where extreme drought and poverty have left many in famine and disease.

So if you are interested in helping this organization reach its goal, you can visit their site and get information on how to help them plant trees in Niger. I have so far contributed about 15 trees through my climate messenger petititon and hope to do more this year. There are ways we here can influence events around the world positively. This is one great way. Planting trees saves lives.

    More About Tree Nation. My petition listed here asking people to become climate messengers has over 1300 signatures from around the world and is still open and helping to plant trees. It truly touches the heart to see people from all over the world signing together to pledge to do what they can to spread this message. That is really where the greatest change will come from not only in bringing awareness, but in making governments see that this is no longer their choice but their obligation.

  • Cool! Thanks, Jan. That's pretty neat how they let you pick a specific kind of tree. :-)
