With
September being Arbor month, the non-profit organisation has launched a bold
new tree planting initiative to raise 10 000 trees in 30 days.
Greenpop, a local
environmental organisation, who are calling for more trees to be planted in an attempt
to mitigate climate change. It's all part of their longer-term goal to plant
500 000 trees by the year 2025. Since 2010, Greenpop has planted over 115 000
trees and worked on environmental projects in urban greening, reforestation and
conservation agriculture across sub-Saharan Africa. Greenpop focus has been on
connecting people with the planet, engaging communities and inspiring
environmental stewards.
On
28 March, 2019, speakers at a General Assembly High-Level Meeting of the United
Nations warned that the planet has just 11 years left to prevent irreversible
damage from climate change.
For further information on how
you can make a difference this Arbor Month by donating to trees which will be
planted across Sub-Saharan Africa, visit greenpop.org for more information on
