Celebrate the Green Wave!

Green Wave of Action 2011

The 2011 Green Wave events started on 22 May 2011 on the International Date Line that runs through the Pacific, and moved westwards each hour. Each hour, beginning at 20:20 local time in the GMT+12 time zone, new trees appeared on the map. The 2011 map filled up with trees in Asia and the Pacific, across Europe and Africa, over the ocean to the America, to finally reach back to the Pacific.

The Green Wave is a multi-year global campaign that enables children and youth to make a difference – one school, one tree, one step at a time. The Green Wave brings together children and youth from around the world to raise awareness about biodiversity, and the need to reduce its loss. The Green Wave contributes to the Plant for the Planet Billion Tree Campaign.
