Tree-Nation

Tree-Nation is a Barcelona-based entity that wants to plant 8 million trees in Niger, in the shape of a giant heart. Their hope is that this re-forestation campaign will help the environment and the people of the country. They're going about it the right way. People go to the site and peruse a mapping application to find the trees that have already been planted, and/or pick a spot for their tree. There are four types of trees to choose from, ranging from €10 - €75 each. The tree can be named and a message added that people viewing it later can read. Each tree purchase also comes with a blog, which is an area where the purchaser can talk about whatever they like, and others can comment. You can also link directly to your tree from another website.
