The BPWI Environment
Committee launched the project nationally together
with the Federal Republican Presidency. The participation
of the Brazilian Executive Vice President José
Alencar in the ceremony increased the BPW visibility
in Brasil. Tree is Life focuses that Brazilian
people have to plant trees to fight against Climate
Change.
On the 6th of September,
the Chairperson of the Environment Committee,
Yara Blochtein and the BPW Brasil President Beatriz
Fett, in a public ceremony, launched the project
"Tree is Life". The participation of
the Past International President, Antoinette Ruegg,
from Switzerland, the Vice International President
Liz Benham, from the USA and Maria Inez Bunning,
Latin America BPW Coordinator, from Brazil were
absolutely important to the great success and
repercussion of the project.
In this way, we intend to
stimulate the posture change process to fight
against the challenges created by the Climate
Change on the 21st century and to warn Brazilians
that planting trees means to plant lives and take
care of our planet.
"The project main goal
is to motivate each Brazilian to plant a tree"
says Yara that since 1992 works with environmental
projects in BPW.
The project has the support
of the President of the Republic, Governmental
authorities as well as NGOs.
Tree is life has been first
launched in Cuiabá by Sueli Batista and
Eliana Motta during CONFAM and in Rio Grande do
Sul, Porto Alegre, the project was introduced
by Ligia Barata Brasil with the participation
of the Governor Yeda Crusius.
We
have to transform this action in a seed to grow
searching the harmony between human and nature.
