so these two college students are biking across the u.s. and have a goal of planting 1,000,000 trees... http://www.plantingamerica.org/ they're looking for volunteers to, not only help them plant trees, but to organize the community and help to provide food, water and housing for their stay. to find out if they'll be coming to (or near) your hometown, check out the itinerary for their trip... http://www.plantingamerica.org/Project/tripiten.html if they won't be coming to where you live, they will send you free seeds to plant yourself... http://www.plantingamerica.org/seeds.html happy planting!
I've already sent a message to these guys wishing them the best with all my support. Unfortunately they can't give away any more seeds at the moment... NOW THIS is something that will make a difference! Something everyone and anyone can do.... just think of all the new trees that will pop up years from now.
