What would happen if 100,000 trees were planted across the country in 2013?

Cleaner water, healthier soil, fresher air? You betcha.

In a world filled with technology advancing in leaps and bounds by the millisecond, it’s easy to forget the basics. It doesn’t matter how many nutrients you can manufacture and inject into any given food, it’s never going to be the same as biting into a rich, nutrient-packed apple picked fresh off the tree.

But the only way to get naturally nutritious fruits and veggies is if they have nutrient-rich soil to grow in, clean water to feed their growth, and fresh air to breathe. Trees can help, and so can you. Odwalla {the juice company} is teaming up with Nature.org to plant 100,000 trees in cities across the U.S. by the end of the year. They’re combining technology with nature: for every virtually tree we build, a real-live growing tree will be planted in your name.

If the goodness of the earth isn’t enough to get you virtually digging, maybe this will: “plant” a tree and enter to win a $10,000 gift card and year of Odwalla juices and bars. Sounds good, huh?

Between March 20, 2013 and May 31, 2013, Odwalla will contribute $1 for each tree you create to The Nature Conservancy for the planting of trees– no less than $75,000 and up to $100,000. The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to conserve the land and waters on which all life depends. More information about the Conservancy is available by mail at 4245 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, Virginia 22203, by phone at (800)628-6860 or at www.nature.org.
