"Planting a tree in a garden in a park in the countryside, forest, is a simple, accessible to everyone," said UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner. But this action repeated a billion times leave a footprint in the long term. "
Many associations have mobilized to educate citizens to plant trees on every continent.
In the top three countries farmers can find with Ethiopia over 700 million trees planted, followed by Mexico with 217 million and Turkey with 150 million.
The initiative continues beyond the billion initially targeted. To This, needless to go across the world. Several French associations organize days of planting trees on the national territory.
On 1 March 2009 for example, NAFA (National Association of foresters) and The Earth Organization (Earth Association) came together to make plantations in the carbon sink of Villers-Cotterets in Picardy located on the former WWTP.
The plants were provided by the ANAF notably from their nursery school located in the Chateau de la Ferte Milon Potel, specializing in horticulture and arboriculture.
Children and parents were present to learn any thing essential to reduce the amount of CO ² in the atmosphere: plant a tree.
"Overall, a home emits 16.4 tons of carbon dioxide per year to meet its needs. The household energy consumption accounts for 47% of national consumption, "says Noelle Saugout, president of France and TEO author of Caring for the Earth: 365 green behavior in everyday life. "What better way to start with a simple action and fun to offset our carbon emissions? "
ANAF is an association fighting against global warming and TEO (The Earth Organization), founded by Lawrence Anthony famous for having saved the Baghdad Zoo during the war in Iraq, aims to protect biodiversity.
