On April 21 Shaklee kicked off its global environmental campaign to raise awareness of global warming, "A Million Trees. A Million Dreams.T", with a tree-planting event in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Working in tandem with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, and San Francisco's Recreation and Parks Department, 150 Shaklee employees planted 225 Monterey Cypress and Pittosporum five-gallon trees in Golden Gate Park's Marx Meadow.
Inspired by the visionary work of 2004 Nobel Peace laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai and her Green Belt Movement, Shaklee has set a goal to plant over one million trees throughout North America to raise the awareness of global warming and help offset a significant portion of the CO2 the company produces.
