El Lodge Taos is proud announce our partnership with Click A Tree, an international organization founded in 2015 with the mission of Climate Protection. Animal Habitat. Income for Local Communities. Together. Create Forests & Change Lives. Working with Mark and his team on this critical initiative has been a highlight of my year and I look forward to working more closely with them as sort of a volunteer marketing department or ambassador for them here in the United States in order to get the word out globally about thier global mission. Chris Kaiser, CEO & Founder is man with a plan and has made an impact and is a huge fan of sports and enjoys playing volleyball and badminton. He recently bought a worm box, basically a home for 500 worms, which sometimes is the main point of conversation during their team meetings.

To me, he is the definition of a modern CEO who leads by example with compassion and empathy to achieve a common goal to leave a negative footprint in all that they do. He looks upon his role as CEO at Click A Tree as a coach the team, taking care of their B2B partners and supervising the plantations on site. I first discovered Chris and Click A Tree through a mutual friend on LinkedIn and ecourage readers to do the same.

Click A Tree is not a huge multi-national environment organization but just a little team of good people doing great things with limited resources.

I'd like to share with you an email I recieved this morning from Chris outlining the progress they have made this year and where they intend on going in the new year.

And now for the part you've all been waiting for, my data visulization word cloud that I create on all vital issue I engage with as my way of cutting to the core of every issue. To me, words don't lie and here is my cloud for Click A Tree.

The heart and focus of what they are doing in readily apparent to me when looked at this way and summed up quite succinctly in their mission statement.

"Click A Tree exists to make sustainability simple and to implement it in our everyday lives."

I will close with just a photo and say to Chris and team Happy New Year and a my best for continued success and a big thank you for making our planet a better place!

 
Frohes neues Jahr und danke mein Freund!
