"MORE TREES, PLEASE!" Earth Day Movement inspires others to "Plant a Tree Pose" for more trees around the world

A unique Earth Day Movement is underway to increase awareness about deforestation and to raise money for planting trees worldwide.

Monterey, CA, March 23, 2015 - A unique Earth Day Movement is underway to increase awareness about deforestation and to raise money for planting trees worldwide. Participants register for the Movement at http://www.PlantATreePose.com where they donate $1 to one of three internationally respected tree-planting nonprofits of their choice and upload a picture of themselves doing a Tree Pose (yoga pose). Their picture will be used to create a giant Photomosaic® of a towering tree by world-renowned artist, Robert Silvers, and this Photomosaic® will be revealed as a special art exhibit on Earth Day, April 22, 2015.

Fitness expert, Annette Cain created the Plant a Tree Pose Movement out of her passion for inspiring others to care for their bodies and the earth. Her love of nature and background as an endurance athlete and lifestyle coach is the perfect mix for her mission to lead physical movements for a better world. Annette says she is following Gandhi's advice to “be the change” she wants to see in the world and for this movement it is, "More trees, please!"

In order to accomplish this change, Annette has partnered with three internationally known tree-planting nonprofits--Trees for the Future, Project GreenHands, and the Earth Day Network's Canopy Project. These nonprofits have made great strides not just in planting trees where they are needed most, but also by teaching and training the local people in developing countries to keep their land and forests sustainable.

According to Conservation International, "Every year, 15 million hectares of forest are cut, slashed and burned. That's more than 75,000 football fields every single day." In fact, the world's rain forests could completely vanish in 100 years at the current rate of deforestation (source: National Geographic). Annette believes it's not too late to turn this devastation around, but we need to act now!

Arizona Elk Society Hosts its 12th Annual Banquet

The Arizona Elk Society announced that it will be hosting their 12th Annual Banquet on March 23, 2013 at the Mesa Convention Center. Doors open at 4pm and banquet begins at 5pm.

Phoenix, Arizona, February 06, 2013 - The Arizona Elk Society announced that it will be hosting their 12th Annual Banquet on March 23, 2013 at the Mesa Convention Center. Doors open at 4pm and banquet begins at 5pm.

The money raised at the Banquet will fund wildlife habitat restoration and improvements across the State of Arizona for the benefit of Elk and other wildlife.

This year the Arizona Elk Society is proud to auction two (2) of the Special Commissioners Big Game Tags. These include the Commissioners Elk Tag and Commissioners Buffalo Tag. The season for these tags runs from Aug. 15, 2012, through Aug. 14, 2013.

For information on open hunting areas please visit the AZGFD website. When Arizona residents buy one of these tags, it provides a great opportunity to help out Arizona's Wildlife Management and possibly harvest a great animal. All proceeds from the sale of the Commissioners Big Game tags will directly help on the ground projects to benefit these species.

Along with the Commissioner Tags there are some great Big Game Hunts, loads of firearms, hunting trips and auction items rolling in.

This year we have a Special Elk Tag for the Hualapai Indian Reservation. See our website for information on this tag. The winning bidder will be the only person hunting Big Bull Elk during this hunt.

Please visit www.arizonaelksociety.org to purchase tickets to the AES Banquet and for more information on the Commissioner Tags and other events. You can make a donation to the AES on our website, as well.

If you are interested in a Corporate Table at the AES Banquet please contact Cookie Nicoson at (928) 699-9036.
