Why the "Plant-a-Tree For The Planet" Tree Party 2009?
We have grown to take environmental awareness for granted as we only take action on specific days such as Earth Day or World Environmental Day (WED). In most cases, the spirit ends as the day ends. We need to start realizing that being eco-friendly transcends every other day; the purpose of these events does not stop at raising awareness, but to instill and encourage lifelong practices and habits into our daily lives. Only then can we see the positive impacts from the decisions that we make.

Why is this a Green Event
A lot of planning, managing and hard work goes into organizing a big event and most of the time, the organizers leave out one crucial point: sustainability. Events can be fun, but if they are not properly managed can also be destructive. Not just donning our green hats, we want this year's event to instigate a string of similar events that aim to reduce their impact on the environment and hope that in time, sustainability will be ingrained in event management and planning.
Working towards a Green Event
It's about communicating the need to safeguard our green spaces and raising environmental awareness among the general public.
We want to support people in communities who are working to keep green spaces alive.
We want to measure all the waste generated from this event to understand what kind of impact these events have on our environment.
We want to use this event to directly support environmental and social causes and projects.
