Rainforest Rescue Dear Anne, Here's a great Earth Day gift for anyone in your life who shares your passion for the environment. This month for only $10 you can plant a rainforest tree in Costa Rica in honor of a friend or family member with NRDC's Green Gifts. NRDC is helping Costa Rica with its pledge to become the world's first carbon neutral country by adopting a rain forest there, and with the help of our supporters and partners we're replanting it one tree at a time. Each new tree could grow to 130 feet high and absorb up to a ton of carbon pollution in its lifetime, returning a bare field to a lush rainforest teeming with wildlife. Now through NRDC's Green Gifts program, you can plant a tree in Costa Rica and help us Rescue a Rainforest for just $10. You can do it for yourself, or as a gift for family and friends. NRDC will immediately send an e-card that you can personalize to your recipient letting them know about your gift. Each tree you plant will help provide a home for the area's endangered and threatened wildlife, fight global warming by capturing carbon pollution and teach local farmers how to reclaim pastureland lost to agriculture -- a big contributor to deforestation in Latin America. This Earth Day do something that really makes a difference and help us Rescue a Rainforest. Thanks for all you do, Frances Beinecke President Natural Resources Defense Council P.S. NRDC offers more than 40 other fun and affordable gift ideas for holidays or any occasion in our Green Gifts store.
