Fast growing trees are planted to help the soil fertile, fruit trees are\nplanted to provide food and a source of income and other&nbsp;trees are used as\na fence for wind breaks. But they stand behind something much bigger than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Provide materials for the communities to become more self sufficient<\/li><li>Educate the farmers to use their land in a sustainable environment<\/li><li>Help to rebuild communities in the agricultural areas<\/li><li>Reduce the need for charitable work in the future<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/progressive.com.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image-38.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-535\" width=\"602\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.progressive.com.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image-38.png 602w, https:\/\/www.progressive.com.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image-38-250x122.png 250w, https:\/\/www.progressive.com.mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image-38-120x58.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>What\nhas been achieved?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each time you plant a tree, this tree\ncompensates the carbon footprint of the prepared meal, as well as\ncounterbalancing the associated food waste.
