Working in tandem with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, and San Francisco's Recreation and Parks Department, 150 Shaklee employees planted 225 Monterey Cypress and Pittosporum five-gallon trees in Golden Gate Park's Marx Meadow.
Inspired by the visionary work of 2004 Nobel Peace laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai and her Green Belt Movement, Shaklee has set a goal to plant over one million trees throughout North America to raise the awareness of global warming and help offset a significant portion of the CO2 the company produces.
