Better than a Birthday… it’s Earth Day!

Here at Perfect Supplements we are celebrating all month long by giving Mama Earth (and everyone who lives here) the gift of trees! We are planting one tree with every order in April through the non-profit organization One Tree Planted, with a goal of 2,000 trees. We have joined the Million Tree Challenge to reforest California after last year’s devastating forest fires.

Trees, Glorious Trees 

How are trees a gift? Let me count the ways …

1. Oxygen – they breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen – brilliant engineering!
2. Remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
3. Shade – cooling cityscapes 
4.  Reduce soil erosion
5. Food – hello fruit trees, nut trees & superfoods!
6. Homes for birds and animals
7. Wood for building materials
8. Green Bathing – have you experienced the healing energy of walking through a forest? 
9. Your answer here 😉

And that’s just my five minute list. Yes, I am a Tree Hugger and Nature Freak (read more about my Nature Freak tendencies).

Why Celebrate Earth Day Month?

At Perfect Supplements, protecting the planet is an important part of our mission. We celebrate Earth Day … Every Day! Our mission also includes financial support of our natural environment. You can see the various ways we have “put our money where our mouth is” on our Community Support page. Recent financial support projects include this year’s lead business sponsor of the Kestrel Land Trust and last year’s $5000 donation to the Audubon Society.
