Tree planting program
Green Blog has via their community forum Enviro Space an active tree planting program.
For every hundred members that register an account in the community two trees will be planted. And for every thousand posts published in the community forum one tree will be planted. So far the Green Blog community members have helped in the planting of 6 trees.
The trees are being planted in Sebangau National Park in Central Kalimantan with the help from WWF and NEWtrees, both supported by the United Nations Environment Programme.
If you have access to Google Earth you can check out the locations of the trees:
