When the economy improves,Earth’s environment will improve
Please take a look at this great interview, “When the economy improves,
Earth’s environment will improve. The economy and environmental issues are truly connected. That has been our message at OGL for years. To find real solutions to Haiti’s environmental issues, we need to provide sustainable economic alternative as well as alternative energy sources. I spoke to a friend today in Haiti, she was sadden by the fact that in some part of Haiti, people are still cutting trees on the side of the roads. She explained to me although it is sad, we need to provide an economic alternative. I am calling for a National Reforestation Plan in Haiti, which will include the alternatives mentioned above, & education. All the sectors of the society need to be involve, goverment, private, professional, schools.
100 Year Old Oak Trees in danger in Little Haiti
Several 100 year old oak trees are in danger of being destroyed in the yard of a little Haiti church. Please read full story and get involved if you can.
In the past Operation Green Leaves in collaboration with American Forest’s Global Releaf planted several trees in the yard of that church. This is a sad time. There has to be an alternative to destroying these trees.
Peace!
