help maintain a stable concentration of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere. INDISCRIMINATE DEFORESTATION is causing the INCREASE of CO2
in the atmosphere, which has directly infuenced phenomena like the
GREENHOUSE EFFECT and GLOBAL WARMING.
The
alteration of the balance of land use has consequences also to the
hydro-geological order, in fact deforested areas instead capturing
precipitation that sustain underground water tables become areas of fast
superficial water-bearing outflow. This causes in particularly rainy
areas frequent cases of LANDSLIDES and FLOODS, while in dryer areas
DESERTIFICATION.
The
situation gets worse in cities where green areas are quickly
disappearing because of the UNCONTROLLED BUILDING which, developed
without respect for human beings and their minimal requirements of
space, has brought about the alienation of the modern individual.

believes that development does not go hand-in-hand with uncontrolled
building and the irreversible alteration of land.
PLANT-A-TREE
is a cry of protest against the uncontrolled cementation of land,
against the silence of information outlets and against the arrogance of
those who have the power and malevolence to inundate the city under the
edifices of speculative building.
PLANT-A-TREE
takes its stand against uncontrolled building to protect the
historical, cultural and landscaped patrimony of this earth as the
health of its citizens.
PLANT-A-TREE
has helped continuously strengthen the desire remodel cities to make
them free, fair, and more liveable by everyone.
PLANT-A-TREE
is an occasion for all those citizens who are tired and distressed at
seeing their city fall prey to uncontrolled cementation and who, at the
same time, can't stand by and watch without doing something.
PLANT-A-TREE
promotes the birth of new green spaces that serve to balance the
destruction caused by urban development in the last ten years, to create
an ecological city with regard to human.
