In less than 20 days we will celebrate Christmas. It’s joy time, it’s happy time, it’s a nice moment to share love and happiness with our close relatives. Exchange Christmas gifts is one of the tradition that most people do every year on December 25.
Are you being confused right now about choosing the best Christmas gift to one of your friends or your family? Many great stuffs you can give as a christmas gift. You also can search on the internet and you will find many sites offer you lists of christmas gifts.
Why don’t you “plant a tree” as Christmas gifts for someone you care about? This is not literally you plant the tree by yourself. You can do it from the internet. It’s Mokugift, a site that offers you to plant the tree as a gift. It’s just $1 per tree. So, you just pay through the amazon payment, and they will plant the tree for you.
It’s like sending an eCard, but this is more! The gift recipient will watch a character plants a tree on a video. But meanwhile, mokugift plants real trees in tropical regions.
Amazing, huh! Your mokugift tree is planted in one of twelve countries that are critical to the fight against global warming. This means that you also have contribution in saving this planet. Mokugift plants trees in Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Mali, Senegal, Zambia, India, Philippines, and Haiti.
So, how does Mokugift actually plant the trees?
Mokugift has partnered with Sustainable Harvest International(SHI), which has planted over 2M trees and educated local communities about sustainable practices over the last 10 years.
Mokugift also has partnered with Trees For The Future, which has planted over 50M trees since it started in 1989.
Mokugift plants Cocoa, Coffee, Banana, Orange, Cedar, Teak, Mahogany, Oak, Acacia, Eucalyptus, Laurel, and Leucaena. Overall, hardwood sequester more carbon, whereas softwoods sequester less, but benefit local communities with cash crops and sustainable lifestyles.
I think it’s a great idea to plant a tree as a christmas gift. Isn’t it great if we help saving this planet on Christmas day? and in the same time we also will give a very great Christmas gift to our beloved friends or family.
