Employ to Plant projects create livelihoods in under- served communities. Living wages will directly alleviate food insecurity and support human well-being. Mangroves store more carbon per unit area than any other ecosystem on earth. They can sequester carbon at a rate up to 5 times greater than a mature tropical forest. Restored mangrove forests also protect exposed coastal communities from rising seas and flooding, while also serving as vital habitats for marine life. All supporters of the 4-in-1 Action Program receive a Sustainable Solutions educational series promoting a low-carbon lifestyle & sustainable consumption habits.
