even more trees

We're still fully in our 'take your comments on board AGM week' at the minute so here's another update on how you're all constantly helping to make us a little bit better.

Last year towards the end of our Buy One Grow One Tree project we asked you all if you could think of anyway to improve the project in future. You gave us some great feedback as comments to this blog post. A lot of the comments concerned us giving you more information on where the trees are planted and the communities benefiting from the trees.

So Geoff got our man on the ground in India to have a look about with his video camera. Here's the result.

We've also made a little Google Map showing you exactly where some of the trees are planted (Thurinjapuram, India) so you can zoom right up. Don't go too fast though, it's like virtual sky diving.

You also said that you wouldn't mind it if you could add our virtual badge to FaceBook profiles as well as blogs and stuff. So we've fixed that this year too. You can now add a badge to your own page by planting a tree and then going here.

We'll be asking for even more feed back again towards the end of this year's project don't worry, but if you have any thoughts or ideas to let us know now just add a comment to this blog post.

Dear Innocent.
I am sad.
I planted 5 trees tonight.
I am sad because...
one tree won't grow :o(
Nature Girl says it's because someone else already planted my tree :o(
Do you think it has been over- or under-watered?
I am sad because...
someone out there won't get a tree from me...
and...
neither will my daughter.
My daughter is the only one in my family who didn't get a tree present from me.
She is only 6.
She is my youngest.
Now my daughter is sad too
:o( :o(
(two sad people)

Please can you send a special tree for my daughter so that she can be happy?

Then she will smile :o)

and so will I :o)

:o) :o)
