The Problem

The environment is taking a heavy tole with all of the pollution, lack of clean air, and the dominant race-humans- using it for everything it has to offer. My Environtmental Eart Science class, along with the Friends of the Earth club, joined with local environmentalists to replant over 6,000 trees on an old coal mining site in souther West Virginia. This site will grow fully and produce more oxygen, as well as repopulate the race of American Chestnut Trees.

Plan of Action

I would love to get this message out to large areas across the world. If there is an old, unused work site, it can easily be cleaned and regenerated with plants and other various environmentally safe items.
