NEW CUYAMA, Calif. — Home and business owners nationwide are creating forests that are reducing global warming.
          Trees for Children is replanting trees used in the construction of homes and businesses as part of its education programs with youth and adults. Through hands-on restoration projects, they teach people how to take responsibility for the planet by creating and caretaking forests that sequester excess carbon that contributes to global warming.
          Buildings are the single largest carbon contributor to the global climate crisis yet this understanding often takes the backseat to people’s perception that vehicles are to blame. People nationwide are taking steps to counter their contribution to the climate crisis by taking responsibility for the buildings they dwell within.
          The average new home requires 13,837 board feet of lumber, according to the National Association of Home Builders, and that’s more than 90 trees on average. Has your home or business been replanted?
Trees for Children, a non-profit project, offers a solution for people to take responsibility for the buildings that house their families and their livelihood.
          They help to create permanent and diverse forest systems that bind carbon, build soil, slow water and wind created erosion, produce oxygen, and provide important habitat for native flora and fauna. All of this in an effort to bring balance the climate both locally and globally.
