Initiatives
More Trees
Trillion New Trees (TNT)
Our Trillion New Trees Initiative will augment current global reforestation efforts to reach this goal. We will do this by helping expand villagers’ participation globally combined with an exciting new concept to expand trained American volunteers to work alongside the villagers and local foresters to increase reforestation efforts.
More Fresh Water
Wealth of Water (WOW)
50% more fresh water will be needed globally by the year 2050. Wells are already drying up in many locations, including the USA. Long term solutions are needed now. They already exist! WOW Initiative will act as a spark that ignites the world to think of fresh water as an abundant resource instead of a finite one!
Cleaner Air
Stop Our Soot (SOS)
Various scientific studies have concluded that soot from incomplete burning of fossil fuels and wood is the second biggest contribution to the melting of global glaciers and Arctic ice, as well as a major contributor to respiratory problems. Our partial solution – the SOS Initiative will become a dynamic catalyst in reducing global soot emissions 50% by the year 2040.
Improved Communications
Locally Inspired Serve Teams Encouragement Network (LISTEN)
Locally Inspired Service Teams Encouragement Network (LISTEN) will tackle the crisis of lack of meaningful dialogue between competing societal goals facing our families, friends, communities, and nation. LISTEN will help local teams identify local problems, team members’ strengths, and arrive at local solutions built upon their teamwork.
