Across the country, people
are taking action to make a difference for climate
change through the Roots & Shoots "ReBirth
the Earth: Trees for Tomorrow" youth campaign!
We're working to raise $10,000 (USD) to fund
the construction of five tree nurseries while
planting 3,000 trees in the U.S. Thanks to the
efforts of more than 30 individuals and groups,
we are half way there!
根與芽的「地球再生：永續植樹」（ReBirth the Earth:
Trees for Tomorrow）青年運動，讓全國民眾用行動來抵抗氣候變遷。這項運動有兩個目標：第一，募得一萬元美金，作為五座樹木培育中心的建設經費；第二，在美國各地種植三千棵樹木。感謝三十多個民眾與團體的協助，我們的目標已經完成一半！

Trees act as carbon sinks by absorbing carbon dioxide,
which is one of the leading causes of climate change.
Not only do ReBirth the Earth campaign participants
help stop climate change by planting trees in their
communities, they also raise money to plant trees in
Tanzania. This means they make twice the difference!
樹木可以吸收二氧化碳（即導致氣候變遷的主因之一），是幫助二氧化碳減量的一個天然吸納處。除了在社區種樹外，「地球再生」運動的參與者也為坦尚尼亞的植樹計畫募款，也就是說，他們一個人盡了兩份心力.
Here are some of the projects that Roots & Shoots
groups have done:
Members of Ashland Roots & Shoots School group at
Ashland Middle School in Oregon raised $635.92 (USD)
by planting 40 trees in their community. Group members
practiced selling their message before collecting sponsorships
from friends and family. They learned that planting
trees helps not only the animals but the environment
as well. Then, they convinced the Oregon & Washington
Bureau of Land Management to donate 40 Oregon-native
trees.
以下是根與芽小組執行過的一些計畫：
奧勒崗州艾許蘭市的艾許蘭中學（Ashland Middle School）的根與芽小組在社區內種了40棵樹木，募得635.92美元。植樹計畫的消息廣為宣傳後，夥伴們便陸續從親朋好友處獲得贊助。他們了解到，植樹不只對動物有好處，我們的環境也一併受益。此外，艾許蘭中學也成功說服了奧勒崗州與華盛頓州土地管理局，募得四十棵奧勒崗州的原生樹種。
Members of the Bishop Roots & Shoots group at Bishop
School in Arlington, Massachusetts are taking part in
a year-long ReBirth the Earth project. The group is
planting trees throughout their community while organizing
a series of hands-on activities to learn about the science,
economics, care, growth and importance of trees. They
kicked off the event in April by replacing a tree in
the sidewalk outside of their school.
麻州阿靈頓市的主教學校（Bishop School）的根與芽小組正在執行為期一年的「地球再生」計畫。除了在社區內廣為植樹外，主教學校也規劃了一系列的實作活動，傳授與樹木相關的科學觀念、經濟效益、照料方法、成長過程，以及其重要性。這項計畫於今年四月展開，第一個活動就是小組將一棵樹移植到校園外的人行道上。
"The kids will hug a few trees along the way,"
said group leader Charlotte Pierce.
小組領隊夏洛蒂•皮爾斯表示：「孩子們將會沿路擁抱樹木。」
ReBirth the Earth: Trees for Tomorrow was conceived,
designed and launched by Roots & Shoots Youth
Leaders who are taking action too! The New England
Youth Leadership Council gave away 250 trees at their
region's Earth Day event, which they organized at
the Franklin Park Zoo. They also planted 10 trees
at a local park—and caught it on video!
「地球再生：永續植樹」計畫由根與芽小組的青年領隊們一手擘畫與執行。在新英格蘭的法蘭克林公園動物園所舉辦的地球日活動中，該區的青年領隊組織（The
New England Youth Leadership Council）發放了250棵樹木。他們也在某社區公園種下十棵樹，全程皆有錄影。
