A Note from the TREE club

Tiffany Ridge Elementary Environmentalist Club needs your help!

Tiffany Ridge Families we need your help!  The Tiffany Ridge Elementary Environmentalist Club (TREE Club) is collecting money to plant trees in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil.  This is one of the largest tropical forests in the world and only 12% of it remains.  It provides clean water and hydro energy for over 130 million people in Brazil.  The Nature Conservancy is working to bring the forest back from the brink by restoring 1 million acres of land by planting 1 billion trees by 2015.  This restoration effort has the ability to remove 4 million tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year.  If you want more information about The Nature Conservancy or The Plant a Billion Trees Campaign please visit http://www.plantabillion.org/.

We will be collect money from Wednesday, March 20- Wednesday, April 3.  Please feel free to donate what you can to this great cause; this can be spare change to dollar bills.  For every dollar donated the conservancy will plant one tree!  What a great way to help our children at Tiffany Ridge become more environmentally conscious!

Thank you for your help!
