It is true that small actions can make a big difference if each of us make the same. PLANT A TREE 🌲🌲🌲 Some of us don't have a piece of land where to do it, but there is always a way to make it happen. For example join the volunteering trees planting actions in communities. Find a special tree planting action, buy services which in exchange plant trees. Any ideas? 🌎🌲💙

It's good to plant trees yourself but if you live in a place where there is not the chance much to do it, then there are also a lot of tree planting projects all round the world that you can donate to and help them to plant trees in places that need to be reforested. I know about One tree planted - https://onetreeplanted.org/ but maybe there are also other ones more close to home.

So Veli I know about One tree planted - https://onetreeplanted.org/ but maybe there are also other ones more close to home. I just wrote an article about it ( Towards Sustainability Newsletter) , they do great job around the globe including Europe! 🌎🌳 I know some like Reforestation in Spain, The Gifted Tree in different European countries. For example quite many sneakers companies now plant trees if you buy it, well maybe it is a marketing, but it is a good one ( Cariuma, Saye)

Somebody told me recently about another one called Team Trees. https://teamtrees.org I think it is really similar to One Tree Planted, they plant a tree for every dollar that is donated. It was started by some YouTube star as a challenge I think but they have planted more than 20 million trees!

Žaklīna very nice! Hopefully they will have more projects in the future! Great donations reached them. 🌲

If you want to plant trees closer to home then there is also Pasodink Medi, who plant trees in Lithuania: https://pasodinkmedi.lt/

It is very good to support the local initiatives! 🌿🌎

John Do you know where exactly they are planting?

So Veli where exactly they are planting? Pasodinkmedi.lt plants just in Lithuania in the 'untouchable' forests so trees are protected won't be used to commercial reasons, as well according to the biodiversity. The exactly locations probably you can find out by contacting them directly.

"the untouchable forests" - it sounds like it should be in some fairy tale or fantasy books 😆

So Veli cha cha 😁 I don't know how to translate it right so just translated directly. But I guess the right way could be 'protected' , but doesn't sound so cool 😁

Plant A TREE

Egle-K Would there be elves there and tree spirits?

And talking badgers! There has to be talking badgers! 🦡

By the way if you use ecosia search engine with an each search you plant trees 🌲🌳 it is a quite good search engine and it has an integration with Google you just need to add #g in the search.

Didn't know about this, it's nice to feel like you are doing something positive without actually changing what you do every day anyway.

I don't really get how they make money to plant the trees though.

Skylar I don't really get how they make money

Using Brave you can choose Ecosia as the Search engine by default on your mobile phone, this is quite handy. And it is so true it doesn't require any effort to do good 🌿

Oh, me too.

All of the little things we can change without even noticing that we did or any difference are fantastic. I'm sure there are so many of them that most people just don't know about.

Now I just need to find out how to change the web search on my computer.

John

I use Ecosia everywhere, you can set it as default on desktop as well in Firefox or Chrome really easily.

So Veli Do you know where exactly they are planting?

We did an interview with one of the guys from Pasodink Medį - so you can find out a lot more about what they are doing here: The ED Interview: Karolis from Pasodink Medį

So Veli Do you know where exactly they are planting?

So they just has the planting action, because of Covid restrictions it was not an open event. The location is near by Paupio km, Šalčininkų r. ( Paupis, Šalčininkai).

My girlfriend introduced me here but I also saw the other projects and came from the forest page https://platformaeko.eco/forest/ to this Eko Diena site.

So I saw that it says to plant a tree if someone posts an article on this site. I would like to participate, share an article and plant a tree at the same time, so what do I do?

Piri

??? I didn't know about this, this is very cool.

I guess there is some conditions and guides about writing an article?
