One Home, One Tree
What is One Home, One Tree?
One Home, One Tree, is a project aimed to inspire, engage and enable young people to take individual action toward living sustainably. By planting a tree, somewhere in their urban environment, every young person engaged in the project can connect to their environment and in turn connect with the issues related to sustainability in cities.
Bridge Club Australia will partner with Urban Reforestation to deliver the project.
Children will be provided with plants by Urban Reforestation, to plant, and will all have the opportunity to meet one another to launch this program and receive their tree at a public BBQ event held in the community gardens at the Docklands. There will also be opportunities to share pictures, stories and ideas on the Urban Reforestation and Bridge Club website.
One Home One Tree hopes to create an ongoing program that inspires young people to engage in sustainability issues in cities.
So how can you get involved in the project?
