Earth Day 2016
April 22nd is Earth Day, an opportunity for us all to get involved in making a difference to how we treat our planet.
During the 46th year of the event, the theme is Trees for the Earth; a project via which the Earth Day organisers intend planting 7.8 billion trees by their 50th anniversary.
Why trees?
- Trees help to combat climate change by absorbing excess CO2 from the environment
- Trees take in odours and harmful gases in the air, enabling us all to breathe fresher air
- Many communities can benefit from employment, sustainability, self-sufficiency and income generated from trees of various types
How do I get involved?
