Earth Day’s Global 2016 Theme:
Trees For The Earth.
Over the next five years, as Earth Day moves closer to its 50th
anniversary, they are calling for us to help them achieve one of their most
ambitious goals yet — they are planting 7.8 billion trees and starting now.
Our planet is currently losing over 15 Billion trees each year (equivalent to
48 football fields every minute).
In honour of Earth Day’s 50th anniversary in 2020, Earth Day Network
announced Trees for the Earth, a plan to plant 7.8 Billion trees by Earth
Day 2020: one tree for every person on the planet.
Trees will be the first of five major goals they are undertaking in honour
of the five-year countdown to the campaigns 50th anniversary. On their
own and together, these initiatives will make a significant and measurable
impact on the Earth and will serve as the foundation of a cleaner, healthier
and more sustainable planet for all.
Earth Day reminds us that we are all stewards and protectors
of the environment, and thus, it’s on each of us to ensure that
the world our children will inherit will be a healthy and
beautiful one.
To support Earth Day our school is creating and enhancing the
current garden in order for it to be used as a place of worship,
peace and reflection. All forms will contribute to the garden
by growing and planting a plant.
Last year, the Pope addressed environmental issues on Earth
Day!

All Saints Garden- Our Prayer Tree.
Shorty a box of tags and pens will be in the
garden. You can write your prayer, wish,
thought or hope on a tag or slip of paper
and hang or tie it to the tree in the garden.
Please then feel free to sit and reflect in
the garden.
