Tree week

Plantarse informs us that Movimiento Agua y Juventud (Water and Youth Movement) established a tree week in Argentina, during which nurseries donated thousands of trees that organizations and neighbors throughout the entire country planted.

It may also contribute to food security, improving water and air quality and soil protection.
