We've got to stop throwing stuff 'away'. If you send your spare gear to https://t.co/4MfIdZWA99 we'll save it from landfill and turn it into fast growing tropical trees. As they grow, the trees will draw down carbon from the atmosphere which is kind of needed right now. Please RT

I’ll be leaving this platform. I used to love the democracy of it but it’s just a rich man’s soap box now. 😒

Trees offer a ton of benefits, from boosting the local economy to improving #foodsecurity in villages. Take this for example: a fresh harvest of mangoes from our project in Bore, Kenya. These mangoes will be sold at the local market, giving the community access to fresh food

Our project in Spain is testing innovative methods that can help the trees be more resilient to climate changes. This particular method aims to collect the moisture of the fog and transfer it directly to the seedling.

Women's unique insights in reforestation are crucial, particularly in regions where they've traditionally been underrepresented. Our projects emphasize their involvement in more effective and inclusive environmental strategies.

As 2024 begins, our global projects gear up for the upcoming planting season. It's a time of renewal and growth, as we continue our commitment to planting 1 trillion trees by 2050.
