CURRENT PROJECTS
TREE STAR
Our mission is to empower children to take action in their communities to solve the environmental challenges they have inherited. We are pleased to present our greatest gift to the Earth and our plan for a more environmentally-aware society: Tree Star.
Tree Star is P.A.L's new exciting endeavor, to educate children and youth about the importance of protecting and preserving our environment, and the importance of TREES. Tree Star is an interactive, environmental, educational children’s book and a multi-media project intended to empower children to take action by getting involved and implement important changes now.
This educational project is the first of it's kind, and addresses some of the most important environmental topics in current history. In 2016, we intend to activate each one of the 16 spheres featured in the “HOPEFUL TREE OF LIFE” illustration below and create links on all the Topics. Inside of each sphere, children, teachers and parents are able to access valuable tools and information that align with core US curriculum in Science and Language Arts, further enriching the educational experience for everyone.
