FCSI ASIA PACIFIC TREE PLANTING PROGRAM IN INNER MONGOLIA
The FCSI 2008 Beijing Conference was be the First Carbon Neutral Event held by FCSI. Corporate airplane travel is one of the biggest contributors to CO2 damage and global warming. We were committed to offset carbon emissions caused by air travels by our conference attendees. We participated in a Tree Planting Program by JGI (Shanghai) through NPO-Green Life. This particular program was chosen because the trees will be planted in Inner Mongolia to prevent the advancement of the desert as well as stopping sand storms from invading northern China, Korea, Japan even impacting the west coast of North America. It was an appropriate location for tree planting and for FCSI to contribute to environmental protection in this part of the world. A total of 500 trees were planted in Inner Mongolia in the spring of 2008. This was one brave step forward for FCSI, embarking on our journey and commitment to save our environment and our planet. Our tree planting effort resulted in improvements of the local eco-system and helped raised living standards of the local farmers. Furthermore, this action gained the full support of the entire FCSI membership. FCSI Asia Pacific decided totake this activity forward and carry on annual tree planting activities directly with NPO-Green Life.
