Building the future of our nation by planting trees

What does it take to build a nation? There are many possible ways, and one of them is helping the environment become sustainable and healthier in the future by planting more trees. If every Filipino plants one tree a year, we can be shielded from calamities while having more than enough supply to meet the demands of our forest industry.

Planting trees act as life support for ecosystems. Forests are known as the lungs of our planet. These absorb more carbon dioxide and other potentially harmful gasses, including sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide, from the air and release oxygen. Aside from this, it also provides habitat and food for animals ensuring the diversity of flora and fauna on our planet.
