Hi,
Buying Valentine flowers for your loved ones? Why not give a
bouquet of a different sort: Show your love this holiday by giving the
everlasting gift of trees.
Cut flowers are beautiful, but consider the impact—the majority of
flowers sold in the U.S. each year are imported, with most grown
thousands of miles away. Between the chemicals needed to preserve the
flowers, the carbon footprint required to fly them to your market, and
the plastics used in wrapping, those flowers aren’t smelling quite as
sweet.
It’s estimated that we’ll spend about $2 billion dollars on flowers
this Valentine’s Day. Through the $1 for one tree model of the Canopy
Project, those dollars could be planting 2 billion trees across the
globe.
What better way to recognize someone you love than by
dedicating a living tree in their honor? Give a gift today
and send a Valentine's Day ecard.
Spread the love by spreading trees this Valentine’s
Day!
For the trees,
