Our website now features two nifty graphics keeping count of the number of trees that children working with us have planted. Thanks to our partnership with the Girl Scouts of the USA we are off to a great start! We have a lot more planned, so stay tuned.

Future of Life to "Pilot" Carbon Offsets |
|
 AirShares Elite, a professionally managed shared-jet ownership company, will offer their clients a chance to offset carbon emissions through our Trees for the 21st Century program.
"We love this partnership," said David Lee, CEO of AirShares Elite. "We looked at a number of ways to offset emissions. This was the only one that lets our clients reduce carbon and encourage the next generation to be better stewards of the environment. It's a win-win for everyone."
Airshares Elite is one of a growing list of businesses
working with Future of Life to offer clients the option of going green. To learn more, contact Janet Milkman at jmilkman@futureoflife.org
