There’s no better way to put the devastation in Haiti than in Carbonfund.org’s words: As if earthquakes and poverty were not enough, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere is now facing seasonal rains that can bring flooding and tragedy. But fortunately Carbonfund.org doesn’t usually stop with words. To help with the problem, Thursday they announced their “Million Tree Challenge” campaign will be redirecting all of its donations for the next three months to tree planting in Haiti. The Million Tree Challenge is a campaign launched in March to plant a million trees.
Eric Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org:
Many of Haiti’s problems may seem intractable, but planting trees is something we can do today that will help prevent floods and build communities. By planting trees and restoring native ecosystems, we can do our part to aid the recovery for Haitians today and for future generations.”
