Mokugift..Plant a Tree Go Green For Earth Day!


Plant a Tree


Ok you know me, I love anything that will help our green earth..so I found that Mokugift lets you plant real live trees, for $1 apiece, in countries experiencing deforestation. Plant a tree..go green!

You can make a difference. Plant a real tree for yourself or for a friend, and help promote a go green earth friendly environment. United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has partnered with mokugift to make it easy for concerned citizens everywhere to plant trees.

Spread the inspiration, from one friend to another, so that, we can reach UNEP's goal of planting seven billion trees. That's roughly one tree for every person on the planet.
Environment Programme is helping to fight climate change and restore trees to cover our depleted lands.

Fact: On average, every tree that is planted in the humid tropics absorbs 50 pounds of carbon dioxide every year for at least 40 years, amounting to one ton over the course of the tree's lifetime.
There's no doubt that the effects of climate change is already being felt, and the earth's surface may be warming even faster than scientists initially anticipated.

No longer just a topic for debate among academics, environmentalists, industry lobbyists, climate change calls for action on the part of ordinary people like you and me everywhere. We can make a difference, but we need to act now!

Tree planting is easy... it's a good first step to a more environmentally earth friendly lifestyle. Plant a Tree..go green. Through its "Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign," the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is appealing to all citizens to help reach there goal of planting seven billion trees—roughly one tree for every living person on the earth. Mokugift has partnered with UNEP to make it easy for anyone who cares about climate change—to take part in the Billion Tree Campaign.

How and Where: are my trees planted?

Nonprofit organizations specializing in agroforestry projects—plant the actual trees purchased via mokugift. Mokugift trees are planted in 12 tropical countries: Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Burundi, Senegal, Zambia, India, Philippines and Haiti. Species include Cocoa, Coffee, Banana, Orange, Cedar, Teak, Mahogany, Oak, Acacia, Eucalyptus, Laurel and Leucaena.

"The study shows that tropical forests are very beneficial to the climate because they take up carbon and increase cloudiness, which in turn helps cool the planet."

Planting a tree for a friend lets you do your part in the Billion Tree Campaign, while also inspiring the friend to join the campaign with you. Click Here to learn

Dancing in a Rain Barrel? With no Shoes!



Have you ever seen that show with Lucille Ball dancing in the grapes? Makes you just want to split a gut! It's so funny! She's dancing barefoot in this large Rain Barrel with no shoes on... smashing grapes!

Have you ever danced in a rain barrel? Barefoot with no shoes? Sounds like fun!

I found these rain barrels that are made of 100% resin, they come in five different colors, Oak, Black, Khaki,Terra cotta and Green. Now which color do you need for your house? I would need terra cotta because my house is brick. They are on sale now if you are interested atExterior-Accents.com . If you are looking for some additional water to water those plants or to water your yard, you could save yourself a bunch of money and recycle your rain water. Just adjust your drain pipe that fits right in the top, let it catch the water in that great rain barrel,you can wear your shoes if you want to or go barefoot.
No dress code required for putting this rain barrel up against your house! Look how much water you would be recycling...This barrel that I am talking about is called the Rain Wizard 50, which means it is a 50 gallon barrel.

It's made of UV resistant resin, resistant to rust, mold, meldew and rotting and all that other stuff that's yucky! Will sit right up against your house because the back side is flat, they made the overflow valve at the top opposite the back side so that flooding of the barrel will stay away from your walls. The spigot for draining is at the bottom (not halfway up the barrel)! It has a screen mesh which is designed to keep bugs,animals and small limbs out while being real easy to remove for cleaning and maintenance.

Has a one year Limited Manufacturer's warranty! These rain barrels are linkable to other barrels of increasing capacity in case you have a yard or plants that require more than 50 gallons of water. With the Rain Wizard 50 (rain barrel) you can order a stand which will keep the barrel off the ground for easier draining.

Ok get ready to take off your shoes and dance in a rain barrel. Hope you enjoyed this and I hope you will leave me a comment! I would love to hear even if you have seen that Lucille Ball show! Looking forward to your chat!

God Bless!
