Uplifting tree planting news: I was just sent a news release about a tree planting law proposed in the Phllippines and here it is. If we could get every school kid to plant 10 trees, that would go a long way towards world reforestation. I doubt this could be made mandatory many places, but it certainly is something that could be promoted everywhere. Bright Vibes news also includes other great tree planting news such as that Ethiopia just planted 350 million trees in one day, breaking the old record of 66 million trees planted in one day in India!
