Shaklee Plants Millionth Tree on Earth Day
Schwartzenegger explained how large a million is in California terms: that many trees would fill the square acreage of Disney Land eighteen times over.
Inspired by the visionary works of Dr. Maathai and her Green Belt Movement, Shaklee began a tree-planting campaign across the United States and Canada on Earth Day 2006, encouraging the company's 750,000 Members and Distributors to organize tree-planting events at the grassroots level in their respective communities.
Dr. Maathai, a 2004 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was honored with the first Shaklee Eco-Entrepreneur of the Year Award™ for harnessing economic rewards through her non-profit organization which empowers communities around the world to protect the environment.
"Shaklee led the way in achieving carbon neutrality in 2000 and has mobilized its networks to plant a million trees for the planet, which is not only a great achievement, but an inspiration to all of us," said Dr. Maathai.
