Join the mass movement to counter global warming

Global warming is no longer somebody else's problem. It has not just touched us, but has left deep scars in the form of natural calamities such as Tsunami, hurricanes, disturbing climatic changes, and polar ice and glacier melts.

Mission Green Earth is a global campaign which aims to plant 100 million trees by July 2009 and 825 039 South Africans stood up on the 17/18/19 October 2008 in support of the Millennium Development Goals.

It is said that it takes 16 trees to supply the oxygen for one person's life. We each owe the earth 16 trees.

But planting trees on its own is not enough. We need to come together as a nation and prove that we can and will take collective action to halt the devastation to our planet.

South Africa has a heritage of solidarity. Mass movements for social change have taken shape on our soil.

Let Mission Green Earth be the statement that we make as a nation that we can and will make a difference. Let it be the catalyst for us to go down in history as the Green Generation.
