Timberland has been greening up in recent years and has recently recruited Wyclef Jean as one of seven Earthkeeper Heroes in its Earthkeepers program. Wyclef will work with Earthkeepers to fight deforestation in Haiti through Yele Haiti, Wyclef’s nonprofit.
On deck: Urban greening events around the nation; a tree nursery in Haiti to provide an example of a sustainable business and help in reforestation efforts; and Yele Haiti Boots, with $2 from the purchase of each pair going to Yele Haiti.
I see you, Clef! I love when our people use their celebrity status for a good cause. Not only is he lifting up Haiti, he’s helping Mother Earth in the process.
