Pledge To Go Veggie For 30 Days, PETA Plants A Fruit Tree In Your Name

For every person who joins the 'Pledge to Eat Veg 30 Day Challenge' through the end of January 2009, PETA will make a donation to The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation, providing support towards planting a tree in an impoverished village where people go hungry every day. The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation's goal is straightforward: to collectively plant 18 billion fruit trees for a healthy planet (approximately 3 for every person alive). Fruit trees heal the environment by cleaning the air, improving soil quality, preventing erosion, creating animal habitat, sustaining valuable water sources, and providing healthy nutrition. So not only will you be helping animals, you'll also be helping to nourish a hungry person.

The trees that you will help plant will also provide shade and shelter. They will reduce carbon emissions and allow rainfall to soak into the ground instead of washing away precious top soil. But the connection between your diet and the environment doesn't stop there.
