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

Climate change is already being felt by everyone across the Andes. The scariest part? Water security! With warming temperatures and melting glaciers, the lakes are shrinking the watersheds are drying up and the crops are collapsing. It’s time to take action. So we are! By restoring Polylepis forests and their ecosystems in the High Andes. Working in partnership with Acción Andina, ECOAN, Global Forest Generation and the local communities we’re planting the mighty Polylepis tree, which hits climate change where it hurts! Are you and your business ready to restore the planet? Now’s the time to jump in!

The GDST schools have collectively planted a whopping 17,500 trees by taking part in JUST ONE Tree Day. Yesterday, Amanda got to walk them through the impact they're having around the world at their GDST (The Girls' Day School Trust) summer #PSHE conference. Their journey kicked off in Mexico, where their mangroves are protecting whales and sea turtles, heading next to the mountains of Peru, where their Polylepis trees provide water security, and ending up in Madagascar where they looked at how the GDST forest is growing and transforming the landscape. 620 schools have taken part in JUST ONE Tree Day and they're having a whopping impact. In fact, through this event, the children have now funded the planting of over 330,000 trees which will absorb an incredible 102,000 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere. Plus it helps bring free climate change education into the classrooms and helps alleviate climate anxiety among the children. (you can find out more and invite your school to join in here - https://lnkd.in/gv5Eh9M) It's moments like this one yesterday, running people through the impact they're having, that reminds us why we're so passionate about what we do. Huge thank you to GDST and all the schools involved for being true changemakers and joining us on this journey. Together, we're making waves (and planting trees) across the globe! 💪 #EducationForChange #Sustainability #EnvironmentalImpact #ClimateChangeAwareness

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.
