I. RATIONALE
Trees are essential to our world and offer a wide range of benefits to our environment. The
benefits from these trees spread far beyond villages to our homes in Cities, School and
Communities as well. Trees increase our quality of life by bringing natural elements and wildlife
habitats into urban settings.
In the efforts to preserve, conserve and protect Mother Nature, and ultimately the Earth, the
school's YES-O Club came up with the idea of conducting a tree planting activity. Tree planting is
the most effective and relevant way to do it. With tree planting, even a small effort makes a huge
difference in leaving an on-going environmental legacy in life. As a result of participating in this
activity, the student leaders and club members can achieve a sense of satisfaction and
accomplishment, knowing that they can made a positive difference. In addition, the activity
enables great team interaction among the leaders and members while having fun and giving back
to the environment. Moreover, the leaders and the members become more ecologically aware on
the things they need to notice the world around. YES-O, on its part, shall identify the planting
sites within the political jurisdiction of the Local Government Unit (LGU); provide manpower,
coordinate with LGUs in the implementation of safety and security measures among the
participants during the tree planting activity; mobilize its members; monitor all the areas
identified and planted.
With the aforementioned statements, the project leader is motivated to conduct a three-hour
Going Green Project with a theme "Plant today, Save tomorrow!" among students leaders and
club members of the school. This activity is an environmental education project. By doing this
activity the student leaders and club members will discover awareness on the importance of tree
planting, and establish a connection to nature and while learning what they can contribute to save
the future. Thus, like trees freshly planted, their work will pay forward the investment for years to
come. Furthermore, this activity raises the value of friendship, unity, and cooperation. Finally, this
three-hour tree planting activity is also our way of addressing disaster risk reduction and
mitigating the effects climate change.

II. OBJECTIVES
