Nurture Tomorrow's Green

Legacy

Introduction
Today we can renew our world by taking the simple but powerful step of planting
trees. When trees release oxygen into the atmosphere and absorb carbon dioxide, our
air is cleaner and healthier. A mature tree absorbs 48 pounds of carbon dioxide
annually and can release enough oxygen to feed two people. You can immediately
help keep the soil green and healthy by planting seeds. Every tree planted is also
home to a variety of species, supporting the entire ecosystem including everything
from insects and birds to small mammals This increased biodiversity gives us nature
of the environment can be stable and resilient.
Trees also positively impact mental health, reducing stress, improving mood, and
enhancing overall well-being. By planting a sapling, you create a serene environment
that benefits not only you but also your community. Furthermore, trees are crucial in
preventing soil erosion and maintaining soil health. Their roots bind the soil
together, reducing the risk of landslides and keeping our land fertile. Planting a
sapling helps ensure that our soil remains rich and productive for future generations.

One should plant a sapling daily,

Updating our planet:
 Choose woods such as oak, maple, and pine that are known to store high levels
of carbon.
 Planting site: Choose a site that provides sufficient space and favorable
environmental conditions for the selected species to grow and sequester
carbon efficiently
 Planting Techniques: Use correct planting techniques for best results,
including proper lateral formation, careful handling of root balls, and drilling
of appropriately sized holes.

Boost Biodiversity:
  Plant native species to sustain some wildlife.
 Examples of habitat structure include food sources (such as fruit trees), cover
(such as thick foliage), and potential nesting areas for small mammals, insects,
and birds (e.g. caves).
 Create a layered ecosystem with species diversity by planting trees and
groundcover plants around trees.

Green Spaces:
 Plants can help communities by bringing a natural enhancement to their
parks, schoolyards, and urban green spaces.
 Arranging trees to create a comfortable and welcoming environment should
be fun.
 It encourages planting more than the idea of spending time in nature.

Soil Stabilization:
 Aim to plant at the right depth to encourage strong roots to help stabilize the
soil and prevent erosion.
 Apply organic mulch around the base of the seedlings to retain moisture,
increase soil structure and release nutrients as they break down
 Plant plenty of grass or ground cover around the plants to stabilize the soil
and reduce drainage.

Urban Planning:
 Plant seedlings where they can shade playgrounds, buildings, and roads to
help cool urban areas.
 Choose varieties with large leaves, fast growth, and plenty of shade.
 Encourage people to use the naturally cooling nature of wood to cut down on
unnecessary air conditioning.

Long Term Growth:

 Choose longevity from species such as oak or sequoia.
 Educate the public on proper tree care practices to ensure seedlings will grow
into mature trees.
  Encourage the planting of trees to commemorate important events or
individuals that will have a lasting impact.

Take Action Now

Today you can take a small but very useful step by planting a tree. Commitment to
the next generation, hopeful action, and responsibility. You are making the world
healthier, more sustainable, and more attractive by doing this small but effective
thing. Then plant a tree and watch it grow into a powerful symbol of life and vitality.
Don’t wait.

Oath
I promise to care for this sapling, understanding how crucial it is for our planet—it absorbs
carbon dioxide and gives us oxygen. By planting it, I'm helping wildlife and making our
environment more stable. This tree will also improve our mental well-being, prevent soil
erosion, and cool our cities. It's not just about today—it's about leaving something
meaningful for our children and joining others worldwide who are restoring our planet.
Planting this sapling is a small but important step, showing my commitment to a healthier
future for all.
