It was impossible for me to literally plant a tree on Earth day. I had intended to do it to participate in the “Plant a Forest” campaign, organized by Georgia, from the Saia Justa blog, and Beth, from the Mãe Gaia blog. The idea was to have each person planting a tree until April 22–Discovery Day in Brazil–and publicizing the initiative.

Nonetheless, on Earth Day, I planted a tree virtually via the Clickarvore website, a program that seeks to reforest the Atlantic Forest with native species through the internet. For each click, a new tree is planted. I intend to plant a tree per day, for the entire year. Slowly, I’m planting my forest and reducing my environmental footprint.
