"Campaign to Plant 5 Million Trees in Central America." Tico Times 11 Apr. 2011. Web. 13 Apr. 2011. . Summary In Costa Rica, a youth organization is planning to plant five million trees throughout central America to support the environment. And also not just planting them, they are planning to continue to take care of all those trees and make sure that they grow well. The group also is going to plant at least five thousand trees in the City in Costa Rica but also bigger areas of their neighbor's land like Caribbean and Pacific as well. They announced that the big planting day will on on the 25th June. Reflection I think this plan is really good plan because iit s not hard to plant a tree, but it will help a lot of the environment as long as they take care of them as they plan. They seem very serious about this plan because they are even going to plant to their neighbor's land, which shows that they really care for the environment. Since this plan is coming soon, I'm excited to learn about how it will go. This makes me think that if the rest of the world will care like them, our world would be so much healthier than today. How old are the youth who volunteer?How would the neighbor's country respond? How much will it help the environment from this many tres being planted and how long will it take to grow?
