April 22 is Earth Day! Earth Day 2016: Trees for the Earth Let's Get Planting! Over the next five years, as Earth Day moves closer to its 50th anniversary, we're calling on you to help us achieve one of our most ambitious goals yet we're planting 7.8 billion trees and we're starting now. Trees will be the first of five major goals we are undertaking in honor of the fiveyear countdown to our 50th anniversary. On their own and together, these initiatives will make a significant and measurable impact on the Earth and will serve as the foundation of a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable planet for all. Why Trees? Trees help combat climate change.They absorb excess and harmful CO2 from our atmosphere. In fact, in a single year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the same amount of CO2 produced by driving the average car 26,000 miles. Trees help us breathe clean air. Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark. Trees help communities. Trees help communities achieve longterm economic and environmental sustainability and provide food, energy and income. Plant a tree. Make a donation. Activate your friends and social networks. We can do this. #trees4earth

April 22 is Earth Day! Earth Day 2016: Trees for the Earth Let's Get Planting! Over the next five years, as Earth Day moves closer to its 50th anniversary, we're calling on you to help us achieve one of our most ambitious goals yet we're planting 7.8 billion trees and we're starting now. Trees will be the first of five major goals we are undertaking in honor of the fiveyear countdown to our 50th anniversary. On their own and together, these initiatives will make a significant and measurable impact on the Earth and will serve as the foundation of a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable planet for all. Why Trees? Trees help combat climate change.They absorb excess and harmful CO2 from our atmosphere. In fact, in a single year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the same amount of CO2 produced by driving the average car 26,000 miles. Trees help us breathe clean air. Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark. Trees help communities. Trees help communities achieve longterm economic and environmental sustainability and provide food, energy and income. Plant a tree. Make a donation. Activate your friends and social networks. We can do this. #trees4earth
