<h1 id="h3">The ONE TREE Movement</h1>
<h2>Trees + Activists + Technology</h2>
<p>Al Gore Inconvenient Truth was the great wake up call for the environmental challenge for generation X. Led by ONE TREE we ask an important question: What will it take to the change the climate change debate and how many trees do we need to plant over the next two decades to bring us into balance. Earth’s life-giving forests inspire a solution!<br /> <br /> We can protect our natural forests and bring gardening back home One Tree At A Time.&nbsp; The use of social media and technology bridges the gap to make gardening an everyday feature of the home.&nbsp; Our task now is to assist communities to put technology into action alongside healthy, well-cared-for trees in order to create a Functioning Living Forest in every neighborhood across the USA and the world.<br /> &nbsp;</p>
<h2>ONE TREE Earth Celebration</h2>
<p><img style="width: 133px; height: 133px; margin: 12px; float: left;" src="images/stories/thumbnail-1a.jpg" height="133px" width="133px" />This Earth Day we will begin our tree celebration with the opening of&nbsp;the ONE TREE Fruit Program, where we demonstrate how trees, people and technology add up to hope for&nbsp;a sustainable&nbsp;future. It is the integration of these three factors that promises the greatest healing impact for our natural world and the future of living planet. As always, our vision will only lead to real change with help from our volunteers, donors, members and visitors. We invite you to get involved today!<br /> &nbsp;</p>

The ONE TREE FRUIT program starts with you and me. If we are to transform the world we must first begin by transforming ourselves. Trees ask us to examine how we live in the natural world, with one another, and interpersonally.&nbsp; If we value ourselves, we value trees. And conversely, if we treat our environment right, we treat ourselves right. We are each a microcosm, and if each of our individual worlds is in balance then the whole planet are in balance. Trees can be considered the symbol, the force that puts us in balance. The One Tree Fruit program begins with gardening and planting in backyards, on school campuses and in community gardens throughout the United States and the world.</p>
