Trees are great. Like really great.
They absorb pollution from the air, improve mental health, lower cooling bills, and even create jobs. Unfortunately, decades of discriminatory zoning practices have prevented many BIPOC neighborhoods from having adequate tree coverage. That means less green space, fewer trees, and higher temperatures.
To help improve the tree equity in these communities, we teamed up with music superstar SZA to launch The TAZO Tree Corps, a paid workforce dedicated to reforesting BIPOC neighborhoods impacted by climate change.
Together, we launched a campaign to announce this exciting initiative and inspire people to join our fight for climate justice. 🌲
