Green Action Tip

Thumbs up for trees

Thumbs up for trees

Here is a short note for our readers that use the bookmarking service StumbleUpon.

If you go to http://stumbleupon.com/earthday/ and “thumb up” that page you will help to plant trees, for free.

“Every day millions of StumbleUpon users discover great web sites and give them a “Thumbs-up”. Starting this Earth Day, we want to harness the power of our community and the “Thumbs-up” to plant trees for the National Forest Foundation.”

Every time a StumbleUpon user “thumbs” up that page a tree will be planted with help from the National Forest Foundation. This event will end on May 2, so hurry up and “thumb up”.

This is a pretty neat idea and in some way similar to Green Blog’s own tree planting program (Sorry! I just had too..).

This is a great idea. Typically, the people who come to GreenBlog are probably the ones who are already trying to make a difference. Millions of people use StumbleUpon, and maybe the Earth Day page will encourage many of them to participate.
