When you buy a Gift of Green for yourself or someone else, one native tree is planted in an ecosystem restoration project in the United States. Trees remove carbon dioxide and other pollutants from the air. An average tree will absorb more than 650 pounds of carbon dioxide over a 40 year lifetime (source: American Forests).
In acknowledgement of your purchase you (or the person you send this to) will receive a plantable ornament made of a cilantro seed paper, plus a card describing the environmental benefits of the tree. Gift of Green trees are planted in the Kootenai National Forest in Montana. For this reforestation project, American Forests is planting Ponderosa Pine trees to help the forest recover from forest fires in 2000. In addition to absorbing CO2, the new trees will also help restore the wildlife habitat that was destroyed, and return the forest to its former glory.
