Why Tree Planting?
Its simple! Trees clean the air, trees provide oxygen, trees conserve energy, trees help prevent water pollution, trees help prevent soil erosion, trees provide food,trees provide a canopy and habitat for wildlife.
Despite the evident importance of trees to life, there is tremendous threat to their existence mainly due to the human action of deforestation. Destruction of forests creates numerous environmental catastrophes, including altering local rainfall patterns, accelerating soil erosion, causing the flooding of rivers, and threatening millions of species of plants, animals and insects with extinction.
The E-Green Team will be driven to: plant indigenous trees in areas where deforestation is evident as
well as educate the community on the importance of trees and their preservation.
