The American Forestry Association (AFA) has launched a national campaign called Global Releaf to educate the public about global warming and the role of forestry in alleviating its effects. AFA executive vice-president R. Neil Sampson states that trees need to be intentionally grown and managed. More trees means less CO{sub 2} buildup, and the lack of trees is one of the causes of global warming. The AFA campaign included public service announcements, educational posters for schools, and material for all forms of media.
