Healing the Earth – Join in the UNEP Billion Tree Project
January 24th, 2007
The URI Global Council Trustees representing our URI grassroots network has declared support for a remarkable project that everyone in the world can do together. We invite you to participate in the UN Environmental Program campaign to plant a billion trees in 2007, inspired by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai.

The campaign is open to all individuals, children and youth groups, schools, community groups, non-governmental organizations, farmers, private sector organizations, local authorities, and national Governments. Each pledge can be anything from a single tree to 10 million trees.
Under the Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign, people and entities from around the world are encouraged to enter pledges on a web site. Tree planters will receive certificates and will be able to see who their partners are and where in our world trees are being planted.
