The Billion Tree Campaign was inspired by the late Nobel Peace Prize winner, Professor Wangari Maathai, founder of the Green Belt Movement. When an executive in the United States told Professor Maathai their corporation was planning to plant a million trees, her response was:
“That’s great, but what we really need is to plant a billion trees.”
At the point of joining, The Green Earth Appeal was one of only 48 worldwide Tree Planting Partners in the United Nations Environment’s Billion Tree Campaign*. The campaign started in 2006 and since then has successfully planted more than fifteen billion trees. This programme has encouraged partnership between governments, organisations, communities and individuals to work towards a better global future through the planting of trees.
Food Waste
Offsetting
Restaurant Food Waste… not for Marco Pierre White, James Martin and Judy Joo.
Within the hospitality sector, there is an understanding of an inevitable level of food waste. Yet it is feasible and acceptable to counterbalance a restaurant’s/hotel’s Food Waste in a socially and environmentally responsible way. The United Nations Environment Programmes backed “Carbon Free Dining” initiative costs absolutely nothing to participate in, yet restaurants benefit tremendously from a win-win partnership – an opportunity taken up by Marco Pierre White, James Martin and Judy Joo.
What is
The Value of a Tree
What is the value of a tree? Biologist, Professor T M DAS suggests $ 710,260 over a 50-year life-cycle.
The value of a tree was published by the present author in 1979 in the Indian Biologist in Vol. XI, No. 1-2, pp 73.79. For the first time, the intrinsic value of a tree was determined based on various environmental benefits and services derived from a tree during its lifespan of 50 years and its amount was $196,250 calculated at the market rate that prevailed in 1979.
