Scouts Help with Planting 1 Billion Trees!
Scouts around the world are being called upon to contribute to the planting of 1 billion trees as part of the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) 1 Billion Trees Campaign!
Aimed at promoting the many benefits of local tree planting efforts around the world, Scouts are in a prime position to register our current tree planting efforts or take this opportunity to establish a tree planting project in your local community.
Planting trees can have many positive impacts on our environment including providing food and habitat for wildlife, cleaning the air, reducing soil erosion, helping to purify water, storing carbon and helping to reduce global warming and improving the general appearance of the landscape.
It is simple to register tree planting pledges on the UNEP 1 Billion Trees Campaign website and Scouts are encouraged to make their pledges for 2007, whether they are large national projects or smaller local tree planting efforts, they all are important and count towards the aim of 1 billion trees!
Please include the word ‘Scouts’ in your pledge, as the total number of trees planted by Scouts around the world can be tallied at the end of 2007. For more information see: www.unep.org/billiontreecampaign
