The 17th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP17) will be held in Durban, South Africa, from November 28 to December 9, 2011, to assess the progress in dealing with climate change. The vital importance of voluntary collective action in the fight against climate change will be highlighted with the launch of a new campaign by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) The Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign. BTC is a worldwide tree planting initiative. Businesses, governments, organisations and individuals are encouraged to enter the tree planting pledges on the BTC website. While conscience-driven individuals are supporting the call made by UNEP to save our planet by planting more trees, the Israeli occupation authorities are destroying the olive groves of Palestine. How pathetic!
