What are you doing for Earth Day?

If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, you should come by Clean Air Gardening for a real treat. We are so excited about Earth Day that we are giving away compost bins here at our warehouse!

We will be giving away 60 compost bins tomorrow to promote composting in our local North Texas area.

The compost bin we are giving away is a really great Gedye compost bin. These bins typically sell for $89, but for tomorrow only, they are free!

When do we start giving them away? Glad you asked.

We are giving them away from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. tomorrow. Only one bin per person. When we run out, unfortunately, the party’s over!

Want one? Better get there right at 11 a.m!

Free composters are great, but we want to make an even bigger impact for Earth Day than just getting 60 people to compost.

So here’s what else we’re doing:

Also on Earth Day, we will be accepting voluntary donations to Trees for the Future, a highly efficient non-profit organization that plants 10 trees for every $1 it receives.

For every dollar that we collect for Trees for the Future during the event, we will MATCH that amount, up to $5,000. That means that if someone gives $5, which typically plants 50 trees, they will be planting 100 trees after our match!

Trees for the Future is an agroforestry resource center helping people in developing countries improve their rural livelihoods through the introduction of environmentally sustainable land management projects focused on beneficial tree planting.

Most communities around the world recognize that they need to plant trees on their degraded lands if they are to improve their lives. Trees for the Future provides technical knowledge on agroforestry and sustainable development, along with planting materials so that communitites can return their degraded lands and struggling farms back to sustainable production.

We are thrilled about Earth Day, and hope you are, too. Even if you don’t live in our area, find something going on in your community and have a Happy Earth Day!
