Promoting an advocacy is one thing making money for long term survival is another thing Volunteerism could power a movement for long periods of time, but after a while, it is very difficult to sustain a good project not unless there is an economic component that could keep it going. This is true in the case of environmental projects, especially when it comes to growing trees in the long run. This is perhaps the reason why tree planting projects die out, because it is easier to plant than to keep the trees alive and growing until it reaches its productive stage.
