Well clearly we have underestimated the power of our friends, family and everyone else interested in helping plant trees around the world. Seeing as we have 97% reached our goal and we still have roughly a month to help with this project we have decided to raise our goal to double what it is now to $500.
Hey guys it's Courteney Magwood, Reid Raza and Jenna Marra
We have combined our forces to create this awesome fundraising team to help plant trees around the world. Together and with the help of your kind heart we will raise more money for One Tree Planted and help this Planet we all love, share and depend on!
The process is fast, easy, and secure. $1 donated = 1 Tree Planted! or $100 donated = 100 Trees Planted...If you're feeling generous. Every dollar raised plants a tree in THE AMAZON RAIN FOREST and helps One Tree Planted expand its efforts to more and more regions across the globe including North America, South America, Asia, and Africa.
We chose the Amazon Rain Forest for countless reasons but in essence it was because...
Tropical rain forests only cover about 6% of the Earth’s surface, but they are home to more than half the world’s total plant and animal species.
With deforestation continuing at such a fast rate, we’ve created the most rapid extinction rate in the history of the world. 137 rain forest species are exterminated completely every single day.
137 Species a day?! - That's an outstanding fact!
A word from the Founder, Matt Hill --------- For the full interview CLICK HERE
"When I ask people to get involved, the number one question I get asked is, “How do I know my trees are being planted?” Educating supporters and simplifying the process is key. As for OTP, the UN hosts the Billion Tree Campaign, which is planting 12 billion trees. We work with different NGO’s within the UN’s environmental program, and they’re the experts in the field helping us plant the trees in different regions around the world."
