Peru Update

Peru plants 512,820 trees per day: "Across the Atlantic, on the vast continent of America, one country is taking climate change seriously.

Unfortunately it’s not the US (not yet, anyway), but Peru.

Peru’s Ministry of Agriculture has decided to single handedly attempt to mitigate the effects of climate change using a nation-wide tree planting project.

The campaign began on 13th December, and aims to have 40 million trees planted by 20th February."
