THANK YOU for joining our last webinar with Ven. Robina Courtin

Last Saturday, October 19, we gathered with Venerable Robina Courtin to talk about how to best deal with climate change and the anxiety so many feel because of it.

Venerable Robina encouraged us to “do what we can”, as best we can.

The Global Tree Initiative’s community understands this message and strives to leave behind a positive mark on this planet, whether that is by planting a tree or supporting those who do.

 

If you missed the webinar or if you wish to revisit it, you can now do so here.

 

A special thank you to Venerable Robina for her time and wisdom, as well as for being a being supported of our work, since day one!

Last but not least, a big shout out to all those who donated upon subscribing:
