Matt Love, Billy George Kplorfia and Charlesetta Moiyallah founded The Tree Planter Project in 2010, inspired by Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai's work in planting trees in Kenya. Our organizational goals and objectives are to encourage people to join a campaign of tree planting to counter the effects of global warming. This international group's primary programs and services are to capture carbon and lower the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, to mitigate the effects of climate change with our "Month of planting trees around the world to create a different world" campaign."
