Planting the seeds of environmental awareness
Excerpt
There’s no refuting the fact that trees are the source of life, whose value to Mother Earth cannot be denied. In the face of environmental degradation and massive deforestation, instilling the importance of trees and properly caring for the environment among the young is best started early. It’s against this pressing backdrop that Natalia Sali, a social worker with an innate love for the environment, took action. Together with her family, the One Child, One Tree movement was born. Launched under the auspices of the Fostering Education and Environment for Development (FEED), Inc., the Sali family has been supporting environmental projects in Hagonoy, Bulacan that educate, encourage, and foster awareness on ecological preservation. Alongside tree planting for students as its primary activity, the One Child, One Tree movement also organizes and facilitates events related to training and providing expertise in bio-intensive gardening as well as discussions on environmental protection.
