Everything is connected...

Today, March 21st is Arbor Day!

To celebrate, why not take 40 seconds to think about how everything is connected...

When is tree is cut down, no matter where - in India, Africa, or Spain - we lose yet another natural air filter, natural water purifier, protection against drought and flooding, and a place that animals, insects, and birds can call home.

The air, the water, the land, the biodiversity, and therefore our own well-being....EVERYTHING depends on the trees and forests. EVERYTHING is connected!

And when we plant a tree, like this Roots & Shoots group from Canada has done, not only do we improve our communities and our lives, but the global well-being of our Earth.



After this visit from the Roots &Shoots group in Canada, let's travel to the other side of the globe to see how much fun the R&S group from the University in Shangrao, China had on their tree planing day.



Be it in Canada, China, or anywhere in the northern hemisphere today and throughout the spring, people like you are planting trees, giving roots a place to spread and shoots of hope for a future with cleaner air and water, and a better world.

If you plan on celebrating Arbor Day or hope to plant some trees this spring to make your community a better place, DON'T FORGET TO BRING ALONG YOUR CAMERA!!! Take some pictures! Send us a video! Tell us about your experience and we'll publish it here on your blog.

We'd love to hear about your experiences, your ideas, and your vision for the future!

Together we can make the world a better place!

Be the change you want to see!
