AUTO BODY GARAGE PLANTS TREES
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – AUTO BODY GARAGE has joined the Trees for the Future Plant-a-Tree Partnership – making a difference, one car and one tree at a time. Since 2008, AUTO BODY GARAGE has planted 1000 trees in India and plans to plant more trees worldwide. Charity Navigator rates Trees for the Future – 4 Stars.
While almost one million acres of land in Assam, West Bengal, and other regions in Northwest India and Bangladesh get flooded almost annually, the people of Tamil Nadu in southeastern India, 1000 miles away from the flood zones, are struggling with drought and a lack of fresh water. Trees have been cleared, water is stripping top soil from farmlands, and little, if any, rainwater is getting channeled back into ground aquifers. In the end of 2004, the great tsunami hit Tamil Nadu causing further destruction to an already struggling region. Trees for the Future has continued to work with farming communities, schools, and women’s groups through a network of over twenty local organizations to address the water crisis that is punishing the region’s agricultural production and the health of the people. They are also providing planning support for communities requiring timber, soil stabilization, and income generating activities in the aftermath of the tsunami. The local population is interested in planting a variety of fruit trees, timber and non-timber species suitable for the degraded red soil – with the emphasis being placed on planting fast-growing, multipurpose species that are supplying a wide array of products while serving as barriers to minimize further erosion.
