Plant for the Planet. "
Specifically, they have planted 35 mulberry trees and eight oranges.
Next Friday will be held another plantation in Guadeloupe and La Alberca.
Remember that the City Council joined the global initiative program United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) 'Plant for the Planet: Billion campaign tree. "
This campaign was the brainchild of Nobel Peace Prize 2004, the founder Professor Wangari Maathai and Green Belt Movement in Kenya, which has enabled the planting of more than 30 million trees in twelve African countries since 1977.
This initiative is intended to individuals, communities, businesses, industries, organizations and governments to commit to plant a certain number of trees (through the website www.unep.org / billiontreecampaign) and get well reach a billion trees planted in the world each year.
The City Council has wanted to join this initiative by the promise of planting at least 12,000 new trees
