A Special Gift for Mother’s Day

Sunday is Mother’s Day, a day when we show our appreciation for mom and all the important women in our lives.

There should not be a day that goes by when we don’t show our love for our mothers, but Mother’s Day stands out.

Mother Earth, just like our mothers, has offered nothing but unconditional support our entire lives. How about we return the favor? Here’s a clever way to show how much we care by sponsoring a tree planting in honor of our mother and mother earth.

After all, trees are the best way we have to help fight the effects of climate change and make a real difference for a sustainable future for our children and future generations.

$1 = 1 tree planted

Through the Canopy Project, every $1 equals one new tree. Every new tree represents a new chance to fight back against climate change, poverty, dirty air, and further environmental degradation.

Tree plantings are carried out by nonprofit tree planting organizations throughout the world.

Since launching The Canopy Project in 2011, Earth Day Network has planted over 3 million trees in 32 countries, focusing on areas most in need of reforestation. The Canopy Project empowers communities to conserve, repair, and restore tree cover to their lands and rebuild their local economies. The UN estimates that for every dollar spent for reforestation, $2.50 dollars is generated in local downstream income and benefits.
