In July of 2009, 3 high school freshmen formed GreenTree of Tulsa as an environmental group that would help reduce the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Our plan is to plant trees in Tulsa and surrounding areas to sequester Co2. While working on this project we came to realize that not only the planet and humans are affected, animals are also greatly affected. Climate change and high Co2 levels are severely harming the polar bear's habitats. Due to their dangerous situation, polar bears have become a large part of our project. Since July of 2009, GreenTree of Tulsa(GTOT) has planted over 2,150 trees to help save the polar bears and our environment.

"Rooting for the Environment"

A great newspaper article about GreenTree of Tulsa ran in the Tulsa World newspaper today! This is great not only because it is even more exposure, but because it adds an extra 400,000 people to our numbers reached. The below pictures may be hard to read so a link to the article will be posted below both pictures. The article had our blogs URL so that readers could learn more about our efforts to save the environment.
