Why should we invest in planting more trees?

The world needs more trees. Trees stop erosion, produce oxygen, offset carbon emissions, remove toxins from the soil and water and provide food and habitats for many people and animals. Kids hold the future of the planet in their hands and having a Wish Tree of their own to grow with them is something they will never forget.

What can I do to help?

• Give: Contribute to Love Trees children’s tree planting and environmental education programs.

Each $5 (or more) contribution helps Love Trees set-up and run programs that will put a Love Tree in the hands of school children in Haiti, Africa and North America. Help educate kids, provide future food sources, alleviate poverty and provide natural disaster tree relief.

• Individuals and businesses can become Love Trees Partners – it’s a powerful way to support our global Children’s Wish Tree Program.

• Dedicate a Wish Tree: Love Trees kid’s environmental program has been created to give as many children as possible a Wish Tree of their own to plant – so order lots of Wish Tree certificates! We have more requests for trees from kids and teachers than we can fill. The more certificates you order – the more kids can have a tree of their own.

• Follow Love Trees on Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word about our Children’s Wish Tree Program.

• Share your Wish for the Planet on Twitter, your blog, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, or blip.fm. Include the #wish4theplanet tag and a link to wish4theplanet.com so we can share your wish for the planet with the world!

Does Love Trees offer options for Green Weddings?

Yes. Order as many trees as you want in honor of your wedding or guests, add a special message to your tree planting certificate and either:

• mail a printed copy (printed on 100% tree-free recycled paper – available at Staples) to each of your guests with their thank you note or as a thank you note;
• frame a certificate and put it in the middle of each table at the reception or just have one at the gift table;
• roll a certificate up and tie it with a ribbon matching the wedding colors then place one at each place setting.

What's the difference between Love Trees + The ChariTREE Foundation?

Social entrepreneur, Andrea Koehle Jones wanted to create a different kind of business – a business built on giving. She asked why can’t a business be profitable and at the same time be built on giving? Why can’t I offer a dedicated team a salary in exchange for the wonderful services and talents they offer?

On Earth Day 2006 she founded Love Trees and The ChariTREE Foundation. By creating two linked organizations she sought to build a successful business and charity from the ground up. Each year, Love Trees donates a portion of profits to The ChariTREE Foundation. The focus of both Love Trees and ChariTREE is to teach children to foster self-sufficiency, preserve the natural environment and secure future food sources all while helping to make the world a better place.
