I love trees. I’m a firm believer that the best way to effect change is to do what we can when we can with what we have. I have art. And there’s a desperate need for more trees in the world.
So in April 2019, I began a Mother-lovin’ program with 2 stickers (Preserve & Protect and Wonder & Wander), called it my Love Your Mother Collection, and planted a tree for every two stickers sold from the collection. As of January 2020, the program has expanded to include any and every sticker I sell. Keep up with the number of trees we're planting here. And read about my crazy number of trees I believe we can plant in 2020 here!
I choose every planting location with intentionality; it is either based on personal requests or order locations. I think there is something magical about planting a tree in the very community of the person who, by the purchase of stickers, has made that tree possible.
If no request is made, I spread the remaining reforesting donations to National Forests in Need and areas affected by fires such as California, Oregon, and the Amazon.
Thank you for supporting this program and joining my efforts to do what we can, how we can, with what we have.
TREES
PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE WATER CYCLE, GROUNDING THE WATER IN THEIR ROOTS AND RELEASING IT INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
80%
OF THE WORLD'S FORESTS ARE ALREADY DESTROYED.
ONLY 20% OF THE FORESTS ARE PROPERLY PROTECTED.
DEforestation
AND FOREST DEGRADATION CAN CAUSE BIODIVERSITY TO DECLINE. WHEN FOREST COVER IS REMOVED, WILDLIFE IS DEPRIVED OF HABITAT AND BECOMES MORE VULNERABLE. DEFORESTATION PUTS AT RISK A MAJORITY OF THE EARTH’S BIODIVERSITY.
without tree
ROOTS TO ANCHOR THE SOIL AND WITH INCREASED EXPOSURE TO SUN, THE SOIL CAN DRY OUT, LEADING TO PROBLEMS LIKE INCREASED FLOODING AND INABILITY TO FARM.
