Determined to change South Los Angeles from food desert to food forest, Ron Finley wants his actions to be educational, inspiring, and nutritious. He wants kids to grow up with the option of healthy food, instead of fried, fattening staples. He wants to sweep up and transform his street, his hood, the city of LA and communities everywhere.

You have a dream, and the power to fulfill it starts with you. We may each only be "one", but each one can do much. What can the planting of 50 million trees in one day teach us about our own failed abilities to create change in our own respective countries? And what really makes a good citizen on this planet? Is it marching before the White House? Is it holding a piece of paper that promises you certain rights and privileges because of where your zip code happens to be? Or is there more to it? infiniteshift.wordpress.com/2017/02/03/i-uv-india-plants-50-million-trees-in-24-hours-lessons-on-the-power-of-one/

They had a name for inner cities called "Concrete Jungle", because instead of flowers and greenery it was more concrete. Trees play a critical role for people and the planet. Numerous studies show that the presence of trees and urban nature can improve people's mental and physical health, children's attention and test scores, the property values in a neighborhood, and beyond.
