Rory Freedman Backs “One Kid, One Tree, One World” Campaign
Written by Vegetarian Star on February 9th, 2011 in Authors, Charitable Causes And Campaigns, Children, Environment-Eco-Green.
A new program that will give money to schools to help kids plant trees in their communities, One Kid, One Tree, One World, is being endorsed by several green celebrities, including co-author of the best-selling Skinny Bitch vegan diet books, Rory Freedman.
PATH Inc. (Protecting People, Animals and their Habitats) is launching the program this Earth Day in April and will annually provide resources for schools to plant trees, as well as educational materials for the classroom that teach the importance of habitat protection and the consequences of deforestation.
Donations are now being accepted for the cause and at $2 per tree, anyone can help a child plant 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 or even more trees.
Freedman said about the charity, “It’s so easy to feel detached from the planet in this day and age. But PATH’s tree-planting program is a first-rate way for kids to feel connected to the earth, learn about their own personal impact, and to start being part of the solution. Not only do we get more trees, but we also get more environmentalists.”
PATH Inc. will be working with schools to provide environmental learning opportunities both in the classroom and in the form of after school activities in several countries, including the USA, India, Israel, Nicaragua, Papua New Guinea and South Africa.
