Give the Gift of Life. Plant trees! Deforestation is responsible for almost 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions and takes a grave toll on communities living in or near these ever-shrinking forests. People of faith in countries around the world are responding by protecting sacred forests and by planting new trees. And YOU can help! For a birthday, religious holiday or anniversary, give the gift of life. Plant trees in honor of a family member, a loved one, or a friend any time of year. People of faith from the Presbyterian Church in Ghana, the Lutheran Church in Northern Tanzania (volunteer pictured at left), Buddhist Monks in Cambodia and the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Cameroon are taking action by planting trees. Your holiday gifts can promote sustainable livelihoods, provide food security and create new mico-enterprises while cooling the earth and reducing carbon emissions through reforestation.
