Sometimes it’s the smallest actions that can lead to the biggest change.

Just by becoming a fan of the Plant a Tree Drive on Facebook, iChapters will plant a tree on your behalf. It’s really that easy, and with just a few clicks, you’ll help iChapters towards their goal of planting more than 100,000 trees.

For students interested in helping the environment, iChapters allows you to buy textbooks that haven’t been printed on paper, and haven’t been shipped across the US in carbon spewing trucks. In addition, digital textbooks save students money, and add advanced features like easy searching and offline viewing.

The last iChapters Plant a Tree Drive resulted in more than 57,000 trees being planted, so this time, the bar has been set even higher.

If you’d like to do even more to help out the environment, iChapters has partnered with a Jogo Green to put on a green quiz that will test your knowledge of the environment. For every 10 questions that you answer correctly, iChapters will plant an additional tree on your behalf.

If every company gave back the way that iChapters does, and focused their energies on helping the environment rather than boosting their bottom line, I think that the world would be a much better place.

Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated, so join up, tell a few friends, and let’s make a difference together.

The Daily Green's Community News section is a forum for our audience to get the word out about issues that matter to them, enlist support, get help and advice, celebrate successes or share humor. The best submissions are personal (why I started this venture) short and to the point (400 words or so) and written in a style that speaks directly to the audience as peers (not like an ad or press release). E-mail submissions to news@thedailygreen.com and include "community news" in the subject line. Photos are also welcome, provided the submitter has rights to publish the image. Be sure to include credit and caption information.
