What We Can Do

Q. What can we do to prevent global warming?

A. The remedies of Sponsor Trees to reduce impact on the atmosphere are straightforward:

> Stop putting more CO2 in the air - and

> Remove and store what is already there

Q. Why don't we wait for Governments to start acting on global warming? Since, through the Kyoto Treaty, governments have agreed to work together to reduce human-made emissions?

A. There are several reasons: Do you care about your planet? Do you believe governments and industries will remain committed to their pledges? Do you believe governments and industries will work quickly enough to avert a disaster? For that matter, do you believe anybody is going to clean our own mess up except us?

On the other hand, think what just one person can do:

One person (Gandhi) committed to non-violence freed an entire nation. One person (Marco Polo) told stories of China and opened a trade route to the Orient. One person sailed across an ocean (Columbus) and discovered a whole new world. - or –

One person planting a tree every day for two years would reforest more than an acre of degraded land, bringing it back to sustained productivity, annually removing 18 tons of CO2 from the global atmosphere and, in the process, becoming "carbon neutral". - or –

One person convincing a local business to become environmentally friendly could bring back forests to entire communities around the world.
