Helping to reduce global warming and learning about sustainability just got quick and easy with the PlantBest Healthy Planet Tree Planting Kit™. Everything you need to plant a tree is included and what makes it even greener is that the kit use coir—the spent rind of coconuts—which is a more sustainable alternative planning medium than peat moss. (We had no idea that it can take up to 220 years for peat bogs to re-grow and how important they are for storing carbon and filtering fresh water.) Coir also retains more water than peat moss so you water less. So help the planet and plant it!
