Hi,

In a world where every breath we take is a gift from our planet, imagine giving back with every dollar you donate. Today, we invite you to be a lifeline for our Earth through EARTHDAY.ORG's The Canopy Project®.

🌱 Why Trees? Why Now? Trees are more than just a part of our natural landscape. They are our allies in the fight against climate change. They clean our air, filter our water, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity.¹ Sadly, we are losing them at an unprecedented rate due to human-cause deforestation and climate-change related causes including severe wildfire, drought, and other unprecedented weather events.²

🌟 Be A Part of the Solution! As little as $1 plants a tree through The Canopy Project® in a high priority location around the world. Our ambitious goal is to plant 7.8 billion trees — one for every person on Earth.

💚 Your Impact:

• In Kenya, fruit and nut tree planting projects help protect against flooding, and provide food for local communities.
• In India, mangrove plantings help protect biodiversity and the habitat of a range of species including dolphins, crocodiles, and Bengal tigers.
• In California, reforestation of native species supports recovery from catastrophic wildfires.
• These are just a few examples of our projects.

🌳 Stand with Us: This isn’t just about planting trees. It’s about creating a future that is cleaner, greener, and sustainable for generations to come. Together, we are more than individuals; we are a force for significant, positive change. We must be the Earth’s champions.
