Create a Forest - Act4Trees



Create a virtual forest. It sounds like great fun and it's for a good cause - saving the rainforest.

On this game-like website people can build and name their virtual forests and then invite their friends to help them Act4trees - in real language - put leaves on the trees, by clicking and clicking and clicking.

I came to hear of this via a cyber friend Cate, an environmental and animal rights activist, who has named a forest in memory of her son Eben who died earlier this year.

At Act4Trees you can plant a tree in a specific forest or create a forest of your own.

What happens is you are only allowed one click per day and www.prize.com will give 10 000
Euros for each million clicks to Aquaverde, a Save the Rainforest organisation.

So give Eben's forest some clicks, or create your own, but bookmark a forest and visit it once a day for a click. Why not?
