One Million Trees Project

Here is a great and practical initiative from the ABA's Section on Environment, Energy and Resources "One Million Trees Project - Right Tree for the Right Place at the Right Time." Here is what the ABA has to say about the project:

The American Bar Association's Section of Environment, Energy and Resources (SEER) announces its "One Million Trees Project - Right Tree for the Right Place at the Right Time" nationwide public service project. We call on ABA members to contribute to the goal of planting one million trees across the United States in the next five years. Trees are important to the environment through their ability to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide and also contribute to the overall health of communities, wildlife and aesthetics. In addition to the actual planting of trees, SEER also intends through public outreach and partnering efforts, to raise the nation's awareness of the multiple benefits of trees and their role in helping to fight climate change. Members of SEER intend to engage in numerous publicity and educational outreach efforts throughout the year, including planned tree plantings across the country on Earth Day and Arbor Day.

This sounds like a great program to get behind.  I encourage everyone to go to the ABA website for more details and to get involved with One Million Trees Project - Right Tree for the Right Place at the Right Time.
