Free Trees for Children Across Canada
Aliso Viejo, CA (PRWEB) April 21, 2011
The United Nations has declared 2011 the International Year of Forests so there’s never been a better time to plant trees with the future stewards of the environment. ChariTREE sources seedlings native to each province and ships Wish Trees across Canada for campers and students to plant and make a wish for the planet. Summer camp directors and teachers have until May 2, 2011 to order trees.
“These days children have less time and fewer opportunities to connect with nature. This is a real loss because research shows that contact with nature makes kids feel better about themselves. We can’t let kids lose touch with nature – especially now,” said Andrea Koehle Jones, Executive Director of The ChariTREE Foundation. She says one of the best ways to learn about the environment is to plant a tree.
The number of trees planted is growing this year thanks to ChariTREE’s partnership with Centon Electronics, Inc. and Staples Canada. For each DataStick Green USB sold at Staples, $ 1 will be donated to The ChariTREE Foundation to plant a tree.
“When business can support the environment it is a win-win situation for everyone. We are pleased with the success of the DataStick Green Drive and the consumer support of this program,” said Jennifer Miscione, Director of Sales and Marketing.
“Staples believes in making it easy for people to make the right sustainable choices. Helping youth and the environment through our products, is one way we are making a difference,” commented Pete Gibel, Vice President of Merchandising and Co-Chair of the Eco Easy Committee for Staples Canada.
