CME Center is committed to helping mitigate the consequences of climate change by decreasing the impact of our operations and partnering with our clients, vendors, and communities to support positive change in sustainability practices.
Starting 4/1/23 CME will launch a 30 day campaign to help plant trees in Tanzania by partnering with ForestNation. Our goal is to plant 1030 trees!
Why Tanzania? Tanzania is the largest of all countries in East Africa. Once entirely bush and savanna, the landscape is now semidesert. In the Eastern and Western Mountain Ranges where trees will be planted, heavy deforestation has ruined the livelihoods of many locals. The impact of planting trees here is far-reaching: seedlings are grown for families to plant on their farms and once mature, they produce a regular harvest, yielding food and income (100 mature fruit-bearing trees = $700 of income and yields 10 tons of oxygen per year) and assists in providing gender equality by employing 200 women year-round and up to 800 women seasonally.
