Planting trees


Going further, there is a big urge for jobs as well there are many devastated and / or desertified areas around the globe.
Our basic idea is to stimulate common people as well institutions to develop planting activities. From the home owner who can have plants in his private garden, the one who has land and room for trees, to the big institutions that can develop large reforestation programs with native trees.

To plant a tree is a significant experience. We allow common people to come to our little piece of land and plant a tree. Here, the objective is to give people the oportunity to develop emotional links to the environment via planting at least a tree and becoming its godfather or godmother.

At the other extreme, we look forward developing bigger and bigger self sustained reforestation projects with native trees attending to the needs of air carbon control, green jobs , social integration, social justice, health, new living habits and so forth.

We are spotted on the Atlantic Forest region, in Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil. We have already planted a lot of trees and we have pictures of the area as well other ones to be seen at http://picasaweb.google.com/linpires/ProjetoPlanteUmaRvore#.

Also, we have many articles published in portuguese language to be read at

We are waiting for your comments. Be wellcome.

  1. In America we have the "Free Tree Program" (FTP), organized by vegan David Kidd of Canton, Ohio.

    David is a father, a local businessman, and founder and a former President of the Canton Vegetarian Club.

    Best wishes.

  2. Tree crops are really effective ways to provide core herbivorous nourishment:

    fruits
    nuts
    some legumes
    etc.

    Acreage yields are far higher than any other crop type, and the ecological benefits are quite impressive.

    Planting trees, not merely for decoration, but as a planned feature in one's sustainably maintained managed ecological subsystem are crucial.
