Can $10.00 save 270 Trees? If so, HOW?

Yes, one $10.00 donation can and does save 270 trees. Save Million Trees, Inc. Non-Profit has a new campaign - Kids Go Green - where they donate recycling bins to preschools and schools. According to Recycle Now website, one elementary kid produces 99 lb of pape waste in one school year.

In a class of 18 kids, recycling bins, right there in the classroom promote recycling so much that over 80% of paper waste gets recycled. It's as easy for the kids to recycle as it is to throw it in the trash!

So, one $10.00 donation does save 270 trees in ten years - the paper waste from one classroom equals 27 trees in one year. My donation of $20.00 will save 540 trees. How many trees do you want to save today?
