The Mother’s Forest Project: Difference between revisions

ASEZ WAO’s Mother’s Forest Campaign aims to build green forests throughout the world by encouraging the international community to plant trees with the mind of a mother. In addition, the group takes the lead in saving trees by conserving resources and in protecting trees by preventing pests, removing weeds, and fertilizing them.<br>Greening the desert by planting trees prevents the loss of soil and water, and creates an environment for living things. When trees absorb carbon dioxide, they store carbon and emit oxygen. They also absorb dust in the air through their leaves. One tree absorbs 2.5 metric tons of carbon dioxide and emits 1.8 tons of oxygen per year, which is equivalent to the amount of oxygen that seven adults need for a year. Also, 1 hectare of forest absorbs 168 kg (370 lb) of air pollutants. Planting trees helps to clean the air and combat global warming.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.kimberly-clark.com/-/media/kimberly/pdf/sustainability-reports/2017/2017-report---yuhan-kimberly-south-korea.pdf |title=Yuhan-Kimberly 2017 Sustainability Report |website=Yuhan-Kimberly |publisher= |date= |quote= }}</ref><br>ASEZ WAO is carrying out the “Planting One Tree per Person” Project through the Mother’s Forest Campaign by leading every member to plant one tree and all people of the world to participate in planting trees. This mission is carried out with the belief that each person’s small action can change the whole world. The ultimate goal of the Mother’s Forest Campaign is to plant more than seven billion trees around the world to achieve global greening. Considering that seven pine trees are needed to reduce one metric ton of carbon dioxide, there can be a great impact of reducing one billion tons of carbon dioxide through planting seven billion trees. This project is in line with the SDGs, a collection of common goals that support the global community. Specifically, it aligns with No. 13 (Climate Action), No. 15 (Life on Land), and No. 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
