Petition Make planting trees compulsory as part of the curriculum
In secondary school all students, as part of their studies should be given an opportunity to plant 15 trees. Global warming is a huge issue now, and if we don't take action within the next 10 years, we will reach a point of no return.
More details
Our futures and lives will be affected, and we must take action now, or it will be too late. If our idea takes place, we could plant approximately 60,000,000 trees!
The leading cause of climate change is the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2. Seeing as trees absorb CO2, planting them is a great way of trying to fight global warming.
This is our future that will be affected. We don't want to grow old watching our children and grandchildren suffer because of our mistakes, simple things we could have done to make a change. The future generations depend on us to do something now, to save our planet and our future. We must be the change. Now!
