Environmentalism and conservation were very important to Warren, and since this memorial project seeks to "commemorate the life he led by following his example," we gotta do more for the environment. :)So...we have just donated funds to have 41 new trees planted--one for every year since Warren was born. The donation was made through the non-profit American Forests and their cleverly named 'Global ReLeaf Campaign.'
And, although we are a bit past Warren's birthday for this year, I think this will be a good birthday gift to Warren in years to come. From now on, we'll commemorate Warren's love for the environment by planting trees in a quantity equal to how old he would have been that year. Soon, we'll have a Warren memorial forest of sorts.
Sound like a plan?
