Plant a Billion Trees

I’ve been searching for some ways I can give back over the holidays, and giving back to Mother Earth is at the top of my list. Last year I donated $10 to plant ten trees in the Atlantic Forest in South America. The Nature Conservancy’s “Plant a Billion” campaign plants one tree for each dollar you donate. The trees will help restore the Atlantic Forest which is in critical condition.

You can even plant some trees as a gift to a friend. The Nature Conservancy will send them an e-card announcing that you’ve planted trees in their name. They will also receive the Nature Conservancy magazine for a whole year.

If anything, just check out the Plant a Billion Trees site. You can learn about their efforts to save the Amazon forest including the four types of trees they plant in the area.
