What is one thing that continuously gives without asking anything in return?
Trees..
I came across this Foundation: Arbor Day Foundation, their mission statement says it all: http://www.arborday.org/index.cfm
“We inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees”
With membership of 6 months $10 or 1 year $15. As a joining gift they either deliver you 10 trees or plant 10 trees on your behalf in the nation’s forest.

They have many programs available. The link is below:

These are just 2 programs I thought were interesting, Help Replant Our Forests Today http://www.arborday.org/replanting/
and
Contribute to Rain Forest Rescue http://www.arborday.org/programs/rainforest/get-involved.cfm
There is a whole section in the above link on how to include your children and make them aware of the environment they are part of.
I fell in love with this program:
Trees in Memory & Trees in Celebration
“Honor your friends and loved ones with the gift of trees. Each dollar donated plants a tree in one of our nation’s forests.”

Such a nice way to give back to the environment as well as showing your loved ones how much you care.
Please check it out and share with friends and families.
