JUST ONE Tree’s Post

What's one of the best things you can do for climate change? Spread the word! So it's great to see our 'Schools Campaign Team' spreading the JUST ONE Tree message at the Climate Change Summit for Schools in Essex. A fab day was had. Lots of smiles all around. And lots of schools signing up to our JUST ONE Tree Day. That's more students who'll be taught about climate change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, more of our young feeling empowered to take control of their future, and more trees planted in the ground. #greenerfuture #sustainablefuture #climateeducation Essex County Council #climateaction

The 2024 school’s Just One Tree Day will be on October 18th! Why not ask ask your school to sign up and get the date in the school diary before the end of summer term? Most schools hold a non-uniform or ‘wear something green’ day, but JUST ONE TREE Day can be any kind of fundraiser you want it to be. It creates a springboard for environmental education, reduces climate anxiety through positive action and helps compensate for your school’s environmental impact. Join children, parents and teachers in demonstrating the positive impact JUST ONE individual can have on the environment. Every £1 raised plants at least 1 tree. So far children taking part have planted over 332,000 trees! 🌱🌳🌱🌳🌱🌳 Go to https://lnkd.in/gv5Eh9M for registration or a pre-written letter to send to your head teacher. Let’s make this the biggest #justonetreeday yet! #reforestation #greenschools #greenfuture Amanda Bronkhorst

We’re celebrating Atlantic Forest Day with every sapling planted, every ecosystem restored, and every breath of fresh air we preserve. The Atlantic Forest protects one of the world’s richest biodiversities, provides unparalleled scenic beauty and contributes to freshwater supply for over half of the Brazilian population and also to climate regulation in some of the biggest Brazilian cities. There is only seven (7) per cent of the biome left in its natural state and 60 per cent of the animals which threatened with extinction in Brazil depend on this environment to survive. Today stands for the need to stop deforestation, recover the degraded forest and to increase the number of protected areas. Join us in nurturing our planet’s green lungs! #atlanticforest #reforestation #lungsoftheearth #greenbusiness Amanda Bronkhorst

Today's Earth Day - of course for us, EVERY day is Earth Day. But today we're taking a moment to pause and look at the impact we've had on so many landscapes, people and even wildlife around the world. We spend so much time driving forwards, but time to reflect is important too. From sea turtles and whales to lemurs and elephants. From the communities that will be protected by our mangroves on Biak Island in Indonesia to those who will gain more water security from our high-altitude forests in Peru. Together we're doing this! It's been incredible to see how our collective efforts have touched so many lives around the world. To all our amazing donors and partners, thank you! Your support has been the driving force behind our mission to protect our planet. But there's still so much work to be done. Climate change is the issue of our time and time is not on our side. So let's be bold and be brave. Join us in the fight for our planet! #EarthDay #ClimateAction #sustainablefuture #naturebasedsolutions
