MegaCare
Distributes 900 trees
to
further its green initiatives
DALLAS, April 22, 2009—In an effort to improve the environment
within the local communities, MegaCARE donated 900 trees in the
Dallas area during the month of March. MegaCARE is the non-profit philanthropic
organization founded by Bishop T.D. Jakes.
Steve Houser, Committee Chair for the Dallas Urban Forest Advisory states, “The Potter’s House planting project is an exemplary effort and a shining example of leadership in being a good stewardship of our environment and our urban forest. When
individuals and groups take ownership in our community assets…positive changes
occur that can transform an entire neighborhood. Clearly, The Potter’s
House officials understand that trees reduce crime and the level of aggression
in a community. Trees provide a better quality of life because they are the
very foundation of our urban infrastructure.”
According to ecological experts, trees provide multiple benefits, including improving air quality,energy consumption, and preservation of the environment. Because of this, MegaCAREis dedicated to supporting green initiatives. In addition to planting a
combined total of 900 Afghan Pine and Eastern Red Cedar trees, MegaCARE
has participated in several ongoing green endeavors worldwide by supplying eco
sensitive clean water programs in Africa; planting trees on well sites;
building affordable homes that are energy efficient and solar powered and
providing disaster relief cleanup.
“Our intent at The Potter’s House has always been to serve the people, and through our MegaCARE program, we have delivered critical support to those in need,” said Bishop Jakes. It seems that others are
learning that all of us have a responsibility to leave the world in better
condition than we found it. We all breathe the same air, drink the same water
and use the same soil. As a result, we must learn to work together.”
