Plant and Sponsor a Tree Online.

Want to do something about global deforestation? Why not sponsor a tree? Nature lovers of the world unite! Everyone agrees that trees are the lungs of our planet, without them we can't breathe and without breath...well you know the rest. But what can we do about it? Governments seem powerless to stop the environmental destruction and seem indifferent to the fleeing indigenous populations, animals and wildlife that use trees for their natural habitat. What would a world without nature look like? The best way to reduce CO2 is to plant trees because they love CO2 and convert it to Oxygen. The answer is clear each one of us must take personal responsibility and adopt a tree for life. There are 7.5 billion people inhabiting our planet for just pennies a day we can choose to leave a better world and a better future for our children and grandchildren.
