United Nations
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.”
The Green Earth Appeal is one of sixty-one 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.

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.
