Plant trees, lots of them, we can never plant enough! First and foremost they will keep cool our environment! That is how we can control the global warming, replace the wood we consume with new trees, trees which need Co2 to live.

You can not only plant trees for as little as .50 cents each but also save rainforest at the same time!:) Shop where it matters & only where it matters. http://www.therainforestsite.com Visit The Rainforest Site and do a search on Save Monarch Butterfly Habitat. In one year I have planted 1000 trees and so can you! You can help by funding the planting of tree seedlings in the butterflies' overwintering area in Michoacán, Mexico, through the work of The Michoacán Reforestation Fund, winner of the 2002 Smithsonian Magazine/USTOA Conservation Award. This fine organization has worked with its Mexican partners to plant over 2 million trees since its founding in 1997 and is committed to restoring protective forest cover. As the trees grow, they serve as a climatic buffer that protects butterflies from harsh weather. And when sustainably harvested, the trees provide a renewable source of income for local residents. Choose to plant 50 Trees ($25.00) or 100 Trees ($50.00). https://shop.therainforestsite.com/store

The good news is, millions of trees will be planted over the next year. The bad news is, many of those trees will not be planted correctly and then only given minimal care over time. I have prepared this eCourse so that you can prepare yourself for the best tree planting outcome possible. You are beginning a course that will broaden your understanding of a tree's needs a bit while giving you sound advice on how to select and plant the best one possible. Let's get started!
