Zero Waste
Project Outline:

GreenTree Of Tulsa will strive to provide an easy and fun way to reforest Tulsa one tree at a time! Our goal is to gain interest and get people excited about helping the environment and lowering carbon dioxide levels and by doing so we hope to create a growing impact on our community. We plan to give presentations to local schools and other youth organizations in order to educate them about the environment and what they can do to help the plight of the Polar Bears. In addition we intend to implement a phonebook recycling program that will save thousands of trees and save tons of space in landfills.
