letter from publisher

ornings are my creative part of the day. I’d be participating in the March for Our Lives happening today in downtown San Diego if I didn’t have this looming magazine deadline. My opportunity to march for a better planet Earth and humanity is to deliver Natural Awakenings to you each Sustainable friendship month. Our planet’s climate changes are more prominent, and scientists worldwide confirm it, which means global intervention. Our youngsters out marching today is just one indication of how we are becoming more vocal about demanding change. This alone shows promise. Be aware and act. There are so many things we can do to help our environment and setting examples for our younger generation is key. Bring your own utensils, eliminate throw away straws, plastic water bottles and the list goes on. It begins with education. Higher education globally and amongst our youth brings on new, innovative and sustainable choices. I just made a sustainable choice by ordering a Kagan water unit to sustain my health and our environment. My monthly interactions with my publication’s participants are always synergistic. I am now going down the rabbit hole of studying water. Drinking water is a highly valued commodity and faces extinction. Zimbabwe is already rationed and so it begins. Learn about alkalinity and what really is in your water. Read the news brief on page 8, and learn where you can get your drinking water tested for free in Solana Beach. It’s a good start. May this Earth Day inspire you to find your voice and heart for positive change. Natural Awakenings will be at the Earth Day event in Balboa park. We hope to see you there and everywhere. Our dearest Mother Earth needs us to show up in a positive way. She’s certainly been there for us. Let’s show her how much we care.

A cloudy day is no match for a

sunny disposition. ~William Arthur Ward

Float with Crystal Bowl Music

loat North County, the only Float studio in Southern California with the spacious Ocean Float Room, enhances the float experience with crystal bowl music in their new Deluxe Suite Float Tank and in the Pod. “Some people choose to float in silence, but many are looking to have their time enhanced by music. Crystal bowl sounds can add a rich, transformative element to the float experience,” affirms Float North County owner, Glenn Stokoe. “The transducer speakers that we have in the Deluxe Suite resonate music through the water. The crystal bowl music is surprisingly clear. We’ve had a lot of feedback from floaters that confirms that listening to the crystal bowls has been helpful in deepening their meditation in the tank.” In addition, the team at Float North County invites the community to try their Float Challenge. “To participate, purchase a three-float pack. If you do all three floats in 30 days, you’ll get a fourth float for free. It’s a great way to really experience the benefits of floating,” says Stokoe.

obin Colvey, owner of Lifetime Water in Solana Beach, shares that many people she talks to are shocked to discover their drinking water is acidic and toxic. “Many of us just assume the water we’re drinking is healthy and hydrating. But is it? Who is monitoring how the water is produced and labeled? Through testing and education, you can find out more about what you’re drinking and whether it’s beneficial for your body,” says this healthy water enthusiast who loves to educate others on the alkaline water that has been used by the top 100 hospitals in Japan for 43 years. According to Colvey, the most notable quest for physical regeneration and vitality was actually inspired by Russian and then Japanese scientists over 60 years ago. “While studying long living populations in the Himalayas, they discovered glacial water with a high pH and an amazing amount of active hydrogen and vital minerals. Through a brilliant process, people don’t need to travel to find living water. It can be produced right in your home with all the benefits of this glacial water. Come by the store and bring your water for free testing. You’ll leave with two weeks’ worth of medical grade alkaline water and discover first-hand if you feel a difference. Let the water be the confirmation.” Location: 317 S. Hwy. 101 Solana Beach. Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturday by appt.

Feng shui can help make homes supportive and nurturing: clearing out clutter and disused and broken objects can improve the occupants’ health, well-being and focus, and attract abundance and opportunities. The center of the home represents health, so make sure it is not cluttered. Live in harmony with the Earth and be grateful. Make sure the home reflects abundance. Get fresh flowers every week. Make sure the front entrance is warm and welcoming to invite the energy into the home. Do not put a cactus by the front door; it will deter the abundance from coming in. Position the bed in the ‘command position’: not under a window or overhead beams, with a solid wall behind it, and with a view of the door. Written for Pacific College of Oriental Medicine by Amanda Collins, Feng Shui Master. In addition to teaching in-person and online feng shui workshops, Collins is an inspirational speaker who teaches classes through the Pacific Center for Lifelong Learning, the school’s Extension Studies Division.

Sessions last approximately 30 minutes and will begin every hour. During this event, attendees will be introduced to an exciting, cutting-edge energy therapy, The BioCharger NG, which is now available in North County through Back 2 Balance Health & Wellness. “With chronic and degenerative diseases becoming almost endemic in the United States, we are fortunate to live in a time where science and natural, cutting-edge, healing therapies are available and coming to the rescue to help speed up recovery at the cellular level,” explains Denise Cahill, founder of Back 2 Balance. “In a nutshell,” says Cahill, “we are all beings of energy. By delivering a full spectrum of light and harmonic frequencies, the body selectively absorbs the beneficial frequencies through each cell of the skin, nerves, muscle connective tissues, and organs; delivering restorative energy to weakened cells in as little as 15 minutes.” Many participants report increased energy levels, reduced pain and fatigue, better sleep and an enhanced sense of well-being following just one session. “With the ability to target the specific needs of each person, great results have been reported in just a short period of time.” For more information or to reserve a spot and time, call 800-586-0322.

Catching up with Sound Therapist Marc Malin by Erin Lehn Floresca

ife-long musician Marc Malin, bodyworker, sound healer and founder of Sound Therapy Arts, in Solana Beach, believes that sound is the future of medicine. “Science is now very aware of the power of sound to improve our health and well-being,” says Malin. “We are all vibrational beings. Every one of our cells is affected by vibration. When we say we are resonating with a particular sound, we are actually resonating with the vibration of those sounds.” Malin, a true modern Renaissance man, appreciates how sound healing is a perfect blend of art, science and natural healing. He believes that we are all our own healers; we just need the right artistic tools, experiences and healing artists to help guide us toward that healing.

ELF: You’ve recently changed your business name to expand on the “healing arts” aspect of sound healing. Can you explain why it was important to focus on that in your offerings? MM: We tend to forget that the “heal-

ing arts” is an art form. We often put our

focus on the healing aspect before the art aspect. If you look back at Renaissance people like DiVinci, they were into the exploration of it all. It’s the combination of an artist’s intuitive self and his curiosity that is the source of the creation. Artists were revered in those days and supported—not so much these days. Still, that inquisitiveness is a driving force. If everything is frequency and vibration, why isn’t energy or vibrational medicine mainstream? Science verifies the fact that there is no solid in an atom, it’s all moving and pulsing. We think of “art” as a framed

thing on the wall, and that reduces it to the finished product instead of celebrating the process of creation. So, I resist billing myself as a “healer” even though I have had very positive results working with my clients. I am a sensitive, intuitive being and if I am able to tune in and get out of the way, healing energy can be transferred through love and compassion. That, combined with my knowledge of anatomy from 16 years as a massage therapist does produce results. But I don’t want the label, I just want to contribute what I have to give to the person coming to me for assistance in their healing process. Or, maybe they’re just coming to mellow out and relax into the music and have a new experience. That’s great! As well as healing, I might add. So, let’s do that. I just meet you where you are. Sound Healing Arts gives me a more expansive platform that I can grow and build from.

ELF: How does sound work help with emotional issues like anxiety, fear and depression? MM: Well, sound works on many

different levels. First of all, its goes into your body and travels throughout. We react very differently to sound. As such, soothing tones can get us into a deep, relaxed and transformed state. When we are stressed, we are in that “fight or flight” mode. However, the combination of tones from voice to the singing bowls and tuning forks can help us get back into our more natural, calmer state of being. Also, many of us are familiar with the work

that Dr. Emoto did with his research on how water crystals are affected by intention. The words and feelings of love and gratitude create beautiful crystals in the water (when frozen) and negative words and feelings create the opposite. So, if that is the case and we are 70 percent water, the sound and the intention is driven into the body to transform on a cellular level. Anxiety, fear and depression all have chemical processes that take place in the brain. If we can disrupt that habit of thought and replace it with new, positive thought patterns, the neuropathways and chemistry start to change. You can feel this in one sound healing session, but it takes repetition to make a lasting impact.

ELF: Can you tell our readers a little bit more about your community sound experiences? MM: The vision that I have for the “community sound session” is that

like-minded people come together for an interactive, transformational and fun experience. I envision a group of us gathering together, with or without instruments, and setting an intention. Several people will lie on the floor and we will create an improvisational piece around them. As a musician I have played solo and in bands and what gets created in a band when everyone is in sync with each other is infinitely better than playing solo. So, I encourage everyone, especially musicians, sound healers, light workers, Reiki practitioners, etc. to reach out and call or text me. Come and be a part of the community.

ELF: In addition to offering sound healing sessions, you also offer deep tissue massage with sound, and your 528 CBD Pain Relief Salve that is infused with sound. Can you expound on the healing attributes of

your sound-infused massage therapy and healing salve? MM: I have created an herbal CBD

Pain Relief Balm that is infused with 528 hertz. It is formulated with herbs to address muscle, joint and nerve pain. and the response I have gotten from those who have used it has been overwhelmingly positive. In my work, I use Solfeggio tones to create music that calms an overactive mind and sends us toward connecting with the divine. So, I infuse each jar of CBD salve with the love and miracle frequency. According to Dr. Leonard Horowitz, 528 hertz is a frequency that is central to the “musical mathematical matrix of creation. ... The Love frequency is the ‘miracle’ note of the original Solfeggio musical scale.” Sound Therapy Arts is located at 731 Hwy. 101, Ste M., in Solana Beach.

Why a Warming Planet is Harming Our Health by Lisa Marshall

amantha Ahdoot’s son Isaac was 9 years old when he collapsed from the heat while playing clarinet at band camp. It had been a record-hot summer following a mild winter and early spring, and Dr. Ahdoot, an Alexandria, Virginia, pediatrician, had already noticed a string of unusual cases: A toddler had contracted Lyme disease in the once tick-free region of Northern Maine. A teenager had suffered an asthma attack in February, a full month before she usually started taking allergy medicine. A displaced grade-schooler from out of town arrived traumatized after fleeing a hurricane-ravaged home with her family. But it wasn’t until she saw her son laying on a gurney in the emergency room with

an IV in his arm that she fully connected the dots. “I was aware that the weather had changed a lot since I was kid. But it really didn’t hit home until that day that climate change could affect my health and the health of my children personally,” recalls Ahdoot. “I realized it would be a betrayal of my duty as a pediatrician to sit back and do nothing about it.”

Ahdoot, now a vocal climate change activist, is among a growing number of

In one recent survey of 1,200 allergists, 48 percent said climate change is already affecting their patients a “great deal” or a “moderate amount.” In another survey of lung specialists, 77 percent said they were seeing patient symptoms grow more severe due to worsening climate-related air quality. In a sweeping review published last October in The Lancet medical journal, a team of healthcare professionals proclaimed that the human symptoms of climate change are “unequivocal and potentially irreversible,” noting that since 2000, the number of people in the United States exposed to heat waves annually has risen by about 14.5 million, and the number of natural disasters annually has increased 46 percent. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has also begun to weigh in with a Climate-Ready States and Cities Initiative to help local health departments brace for everything from the hazardous air quality associated with more forest fires to the spread of vector-borne diseases like Zika and West Nile as the range and season of mosquitoes and ticks expands. Meanwhile, groups like the newly formed and expansive Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health, to which Ahdoot belongs, are being proactive. Its doctors are greening their offices, swapping cars for bikes, buses or carpooling, lobbying lawmakers and encouraging their

patients to undertake measures to prevent the problem from worsening. In the process, they say, they might even improve their own health. “We want the public to understand that climate change is not just about polar bears or receding glaciers in the Arctic, but also about our children and our health here and now,” says Ahdoot.

Flora and Fauna Issues

During the past century, average temperatures have increased between 1.3 and 1.9 degrees Fahrenheit, with annual increases accelerating in recent years as 2012, 2015, 2016 and 2017 all set records for ambient heat. Such rising temperatures, combined with increased rain and record-high atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, can have a significant impact on plants—both those that irritate or nourish us, says Howard Frumkin, a medical doctor who co-authored the Lancet report and teaches environmental and occupational health sciences at the University of Washington, in Seattle. Wild, allergyinducing plants like ragweed and poison ivy are flourishing. Poison ivy is growing faster, larger and more toxic as excess carbon prompts it to produce more of its rash-inducing compound, urushiol. “We are seeing the season for ragweed productivity expanding, with pollen levels rising higher and earlier and lasting longer by several weeks,” advises Frumkin. In 2016, residents of Minneapolis, Minnesota, endured a ragweed season that was 21 days longer than in 1990. Other, desirable crops, like grains, do worse in hotter carbon-rich climes, producing less protein and other nutrients, Frumkin notes. Meanwhile, bugs are thriving, with longer seasons and wider ranges in

Five Steps to Take Today

Swap tailpipes for pedals: Bike or walk instead of driving, especially for distances of less than two miles, which comprise 40 percent of all car trips. A study in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found that if everyone did this in just 11 cities in the Midwest, not only would carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions fall, but it would extend 1,300 lives and save $8 billion in healthcare costs due to better air quality and less sedentary lifestyles.

Eat less red meat: Producing

red meat results in five times more climate-warming emissions per calorie than chicken, pork, dairy or eggs, according to a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. It also creates 11 times more emissions than the production of potatoes, wheat or rice. Eating less red meat can also decrease an individual’s risk of certain cancers.

Encourage hospitals and doctors’ offices to go green:

The healthcare system is responsible

which to reproduce. Mosquitoes’ capacity to transmit dengue fever—the world’s fastest-growing mosquito-borne illness— has risen by 11 percent since 1950, more than half of that just since 1990, according to the Lancet report. Further, the tick that carries Lyme disease is now present in 46 percent of U.S. counties, up from 30 percent in 1998. “My physician colleagues used to treat two or three cases a month during tick season,” says Dr. Nitin Damle, a physician at South County Internal Medicine, in Wakefield, Rhode Island. “Now each of us sees 40 to 50 new cases each season.”

Heat Pollution

Rising heat can also aggravate lung conditions because it promotes the production of ozone, a major lung irritant. With pro-

for about 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, according to a recent study by researchers at the Yale School of Medicine, in New Haven, Connecticut. Boston-area hospitals recently slashed their overall emissions by 29 percent in five years.

Plant more trees: As they grow, trees remove carbon dioxide from the air. Being around green space has also been shown to boost mental and cognitive health.

Show compassion: Americans,

per capita, emit six times more CO2 than the global average, according to research by Jonathan Patz, a medical doctor who directs the Global Health Institute at the University of WisconsinMadison. In a TED Talk, he observed that U.S. lower-income populations and those in developing countries are often hit hardest by gaseous emissions. “Those most vulnerable to the health impacts of climate change are often the least responsible,” he says. “Doing something about this is a matter of compassion.”

longed heat often come wildfires. When one burned for three months in North Carolina in a recent summer, researchers discovered that residents of counties affected by the smoke plume showed a 50 percent increase in emergency trips due to respiratory illness. Like Isaac, more kids are ending up in hospitals due to soaring temperatures, with U.S. emergency room visits for heat illnesses up by 133 percent between 1997 and 2006. Ahdoot recalls a young football player from Arkansas that showed signs of weakness and fatigue during practice, but wasn’t treated right away. He ended up with heat stroke, kidney failure and pulmonary edema and ultimately required kidney dialysis. “Every summer now, I see the impacts of increasing temperatures and heat waves on kids,” she says. April 2018

Climate change can also impact mental health, according to a recent review by the American Psychological Association. Exposure to natural disasters can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder. Plus, according to research institutions including the University of California, San Diego, and Iowa State University, chronic heat, especially at night, can interfere with sleep and even lead to aggressive behavior. Then there’s the worry about what to do about it, and whether it will be enough. “When you talk with people about what is affecting them, climate is definitely one of the things stressing them out,” says Thomas Doherty, Psy.D., a psychologist in Portland, Oregon. “There’s a sense of mystery and powerlessness around it that weighs on people.”

Fresh Perspective, New Hope

Mona Sarfaty, a family physician who is now director of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health, attests that

69 percent of Americans are aware that climate change is occurring, and more than half agree that human activities are at least partly to blame. Yet only a third believe it could ever harm them personally. “So much of the early focus was on the receding glaciers and the penguins,” she says. “People today still think it will affect ‘those other people over there,’ but not them.” She agrees with the recent focus on imminent health issues, and is encouraged that a growing number of healthcare professionals feel it’s their duty to inform their patients about climate change to mobilize action. “When you talk about climate change not only in terms of the health impact it has on individuals and families, but also in terms of the real-time benefits of taking action against it, people are a lot more interested in doing something,” says Sarfaty. For instance, shifting to clean energy sources like wind and solar instead of coal can effect better air quality and

easier breathing now. Cycling or walking to work rather than driving can reduce carbon emissions, boost feel-good brain chemicals and keep weight in check. Writing letters to editors or attending rallies to urge lawmakers to pass climatefriendly policies can not only fend off the anxiety and depression that comes with feeling helpless, but also effect real change. Ahdoot is taking these steps now. She has solar panels on her roof, is assisting the local hospital to reduce its carbon footprint, takes public transportation to work and encourages her kids to walk whenever possible. “I don’t feel powerless at all. I feel empowered and optimistic,” she says. “The more we know, the more we are moved to act. We can all do something small every day to protect our climate.” Lisa Marshall is a freelance health writer in Boulder, CO. Connect at LisaAnnMarshall.com.

iving green isn’t difficult or expensive. Start small, one room at a

In the Kitchen Defrosting trays have been available for a while, and although they aren’t a miracle solution, they are eco-friendly and easy to clean; thawing most meats, seafood and vegetables usually takes just 30 to 60 minutes. It’s one way to avoid using the microwave. Most cutting boards of sustainable bamboo or cork originate in China, creating a big carbon footprint. Glass boards are breakable and hard on knives. Consider planet-friendly boards made of recycled cardboard and food-grade plastic combined with flax husks. A countertop convection oven set about 25 degrees lower circulates heated air to cook food 25 to 30 percent faster and more evenly than a conventional oven; it uses less energy and has fewer emissions. Foods come out crispier, which also makes for great veggie chips. A conventional oven is still best for soufflés, breads or cakes that rise as they bake.

Replace chemical-coated nonstick pans, disposable parchment paper and aluminum foil with reusable, eco-friendly, U.S. Food and Drug Administrationapproved silicone mats. They are easy to clean, affordable and available in many sizes and shapes. Run the dishwasher when full and at night. Off-peak hours won’t cut the electric bill, but are more efficient for the power plant, reducing its energy footprint. Skip the garbage disposal to save water and energy. Use food waste for plantnurturing compost. Plastics numbered 1, 3, 6 or 7 are prone to leaching into food or drinks. Recycle or repurpose those already on hand to store craft items, small toys or office supplies.

On the Floor Keep floors clean and healthy by leaving shoes at the door. They track in dirt,

pesticides, chemicals, pet waste and leaked fluids from vehicles. Slippers or socks with a grip sole keep feet warm and prevent falls. Bamboo flooring is sustainable and eco-friendly, but is also shipped from China. Using local products reduces shipping costs, supports American businesses and can give the home a unique design. “Logs salvaged from the bottom of the Penobscot River turn into flooring, ceilings and accent walls,” advises Tom Shafer, coowner of Maine Heritage Timber, in Millinocket. “The cold temperature preserves the wood and gives it a natural patina. It’s now available in peel-and-stick, affordable planks called timberchic. Planks have an eco-friendly, UV-cured finish.” For more flooring tips, see Tinyurl. com/Eco-FriendlyFloors.

In the Bathroom

Instead of air freshener sprays, hang petand child-safe plants. Use fast-drying towels up to four times before washing. Hand towels see more frequent use, so change every other day. Longer wear makeup stays longer on a washcloth; to prevent reintroducing germs to the face, use a facecloth only once. All-natural cleaning products are easy to find or make. For some tips, see Tinyurl.com/LovelyEcoLoo.

In the Bedroom

From sheets and bedding to a fluffy robe, choose eco-friendly organic cotton in white, or colored with environmentally safe, non-metallic dyes.

Blue light from a smartphone, computer, tablet or TV can foster sleeplessness. “I keep all devices out of my bedroom and block all unnatural light,” says Leslie Fischer, an eco-minded mom and entrepreneur in Chicago, who reviews mattresses for adults and babies at SustainableSlumber.com. “I sleep on a fantastic mattress that won’t fill my room with pollution.” A good pillow is a necessity. Citrus Sleep rates the Top Ten Eco Options at Tinyurl.com/NaturalPillowPicks. Mattresses should be replaced every eight years. In the U.S., an average of 50,000 end up in landfills each day. California law requires manufacturers to create a statewide recycling program for mattresses and box springs. An $11 recycling fee, collected upon each sale, funds the Bye Bye Mattress program. Connecticut and Rhode Island also recycle them. “An alternative is extending mattress use with a topper,” says Omar Alchaboun, founder of topper-maker Kloudes, in Los Angeles.

What and Where to Recycle Find out where and what to recycle at Earth911.com. Enter the item and a zip code or call 1-800-cleanup. Going green is money-saving, environmentally wise and coming of age, which makes eco-friendly products easier to access.

you can take to reduce your exposure to toxins and improve your overall health is to make changes to the one household item that is in direct contact with your body for one third of your life—your mattress. A solution to this problem is an all-natural, organic mattress that is free of potentially harmful chemicals. Instead, natural materials like natural rubber/latex are used. Natural latex is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, making it ideal for allergy sufferers. Natural latex is antimicrobial, inhibiting the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew, which can cause asthma and respiratory distress. No synthetic materials are added to provide these benefits. When researching natural, organic mattresses, look at these criteria: Visit a store that carries mattresses made with either 100 percent all-natural latex or certified organic latex. A lot of mattress companies market their mattresses as being all-natural, but in reality either use a blended latex made with synthetics or just a little layer of latex combined with polyurethane foam. Try out a new mattress for at least 15 minutes. Lie down in various positions, to simulate a night of sleep. Look for a store that offers a clean pillow to test out. It’s important to dress for the occasion. It’s best to wear loose fitting clothes to get a good idea of how the mattress responds in your sleepwear. Protect yourself by insisting on a strong guarantee. If you’re not sleeping well or you’re worried about toxic chemicals in your bedroom, consider this: The two things in life you spend the most time on are work and sleep. How much of your remaining hours on earth do you want to waste losing sleep on an uncomfortable, chemical-laden mattress?

Your Mattress May Be 1 Making You Unhealthy by Pablo Hernandez

o you have back pain when you wake up? Do you have neck pain? Do you have stiffness or soreness? Does it take you more than 30 minutes to fall asleep? Do you experience restless sleep? Do you toss and turn at night? If you answered “yes” to two or more questions, this may be one of the most important articles you read all year. While you sleep, your immune system recovers and prepares for the day ahead. It replenishes every cell in your body. Low-quality, uncomfortable mattresses have been linked to discomfort and pain, which can prevent quality sleep. People who struggle with sleep deprivation may suffer from irritability, depression, overeating—and even face a higher risk for Alzheimer’s. If your mattress is filled with chemical toxins, airborne allergens, or worse, your body is doing battle with those things rather than repairing itself, you’re losing valuable energy each night instead of healing your body and revitalizing your mind.

All of that combined can wreak havoc on your health and well-being.

What’s Inside Your Mattress?

Typical mattresses made from artificial materials are known to emit potentially harmful gases in your bedroom—a phenomenon known as off-gassing. Laboratory researchers in the U.S. and Europe have identified up to 61 potentially harmful chemicals that off-gas from typical synthetic mattresses. From the polyurethane foam used in the padding to fire retardants and other additives, conventional mattresses continue to release chemicals in gaseous forms long after they roll out of the factory. Even after the mattresses have finished offgassing, the chemically-based construction of a conventional mattress provides an ideal environment for dust and dust mites, whose excrement is the number one trigger for asthma attacks. One of the most significant actions

We Need Trees

Arbor Day More Vital Now than Ever

The 147th annual Arbor Day on April 27 encourages tree planting worldwide to replenish lost tree cover including trees wiped out in the recent fires in California and hurricanes in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. The Arbor Day Foundation (ADF) is committed to providing 5 million trees in these areas alone. More than 3,400 U.S. communities will participate as an ADF Tree City. Visit Tinyurl.com/USATreeCityDirectory for a current list and criteria for new communities to apply. The ADF Alliance for Community Trees (ACTrees.org) supports tree-growing programs for 200 nonprofit member groups nationwide via funding, information sharing

and forging helpful connections. Trees are much more than aesthetics, says Program Manager Dana Karcher, who most recently welcomed Community Greening, in Delray Beach, Florida, and Outdoor Circle, in Hawaii, into the fold. “Trees clean the air, are a habitat for animals, retain storm water and more.” An affiliated nonprofit program online at NeighborWoodsMonth.org encourages tree planting each October. Billings, Montana, earned the latest Arbor Day Celebration Award after 12 elementary schools there engaged in environmental education stations and 180 volunteers planted and pruned trees. Other recent biannual award winners included California’s ReLeaf program and the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum. The need was great even before the world’s forests lost 73.4 million acres of tree cover in 2016, a 51 percent increase over 2015, due to poor forest management, climate change-driven drought and fires, says Global Forest Watch. Hopeful global signs: The largest-ever tropical reforestation project in the Brazilian Amazon aims to plant 73 million trees in the next six years on 70,000 acres. A New Zealand participation goal for the Billion Trees Planting Programme targets planting 100 million trees annually for a decade. In July 2017, volunteers in Madhya Pradesh, India, planted 66,750,000 tree saplings in 12 hours, exceeding the previous record by Uttar Pradesh of 50 million in 24 hours, as part of India’s reforestation pledge of 2 billion new trees by 2030. A $10 annual ADF membership fee includes 10, six-inch-tall seedlings to plant or to donate to a national forest. Karcher’s paramount planting tip: “Dig the hole twice as wide and the same depth of the root ball. If it’s too deep, it’ll suffocate. Give roots space to grow.”
