Since 1990 we have joined children around the world raise money to preserve rainforests . Working together locally we can make a difference globally. . This year we will collect all coins and then vote on how to change the world. . For the year 2000 we are also going to help Global ReLeaf plant A Tree for Every Child .
Every dollar plants a tree in a damaged ecosystem somewhere in the U.S. or overseas.
One-half of the money raised will be used for native plants and recycling programs at the South Fork sites. . There will be special surprises for the winning classes and top recyclers. . The seeds of hope we plant in the 21st century will grow in many ways as we write our legacy on the pages of American history. . Funds were matched by Brazilian O Boticario Foundation, allowing over 14,000 acres to be protected in that year. Students are choosing which project to sponsor this year.
