At a tree planting ceremony ,
Asian-Americans gathered with UC President Santa J. Ono and his wife Wendy to
celebrate their donation of trees to UC’s greenspaces.
University Architect Beth McGrew
presided at the tree planting, which featured a ‘Bloodgood’ Japanese Maple. The
donation of trees marked Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month and will include
additional ‘Stellar’ Dogwood trees to be planted on the lawn along Clifton
Avenue on UC’s West Campus in Uptown.
Asian
American affinity groups from the Tristate area contributing to the tree
project were the Japanese American Citizens League, UC Chapter of the Society of
Chinese-American Professors, Japan America Society of Greater Cincinnati,
Greater Cincinnati Chinese Music Society Board, Cincinnati Korean American
Association, and Asian Indian groups, as well as individual Asian American
faculty and administrators at UC. These organizations say they want the donated
trees to serve as a reminder that Asian Americans have contributed greatly to
American society, despite having faced racial discrimination throughout their
history in the United States. The trees also celebrate Asian and Pacific
Americans becoming part of mainstream America

At Sustainable Green Initiative, we
plant trees to help the fight against climate change and also hunger, poverty
and rural migration. By planting a tree through us, you help in doing
your bit to mitigate your carbon footprint and carry on the fight against
hunger, poverty and climate change.
Planting trees is the
easiest way to combat climate change: Trees breathe in Carbon DiOxide, the main cause
for global warming and climate change, and through the process of
photo-synthesis create food for themselves and breathe out Oxygen

As simple as it sounds, planting a tree makes a difference.
A tree has the potential to sequester about a ton of carbon over 50 years.
What's more, It generates enough oxygen for two human beings for their lifetimes.
You are cleansing your air and making up for the carbon that you unintentionally emit.
