MTM GREEN LIFESTYLES CSR PROJECT
It has been well proven, that if you teach a child or youth a habit or pastime, it will stay with them for life. With that in mind, the Million Trees & Messages Green Lifestyles Project has been designed to get school aged children actively engaged, in reforestation, curtailing the use of single use plastics, and generally living greener lifestyles.
If we can successfully achieve the aims & objectives of the MTM Green Lifestyles Project with respect youths, we will have created a global generation of young people, who will remain committed to restoring the world's eco-systems for at least the next 50 years,
AIMS & OBJECTIVES
The MTM Green Lifestyles Project encourages young people to plant trees, say no to single use plastics and generally live Greener Lifestyles.
However, the main focus of the project is not on the planting of trees, etc, rather it is to freely provide the tools which will assist teachers to create and nurture a new
Global Regeneration Generation.

There are no quick fixes for climate change, deforestation, plastic waste pollution, over consumption, etc.They all must now be viewed as generational problems. In other words, they are not going to be overcome by this, or the next generation. However, it is still imperative that each and every generation works vigorously toward overcoming each of these potentially catastrophic events, while they fill the leadership positions of local government and businesses, if we are to have any chance whatsoever, of eventually ending them some time in the future
It is no longer within modern day urbanized humankind’s fundamental qualities, upbringings, teachings, dispositions, traits or habits to particularly worry about the state of their natural environment, or have any attachment to, or empathy for, the nameless, faceless people living in some future time. Almost all urbanized modern day humans, governments & industries have grown indifferent and detached from their once natural green environment, and now feel more comfortable in, and attached to, crowded concrete jungles where progress, success and wealth have become their main focus.
It has proven to be a futile exercise to try and re-educate existing adult men and women.
If we are going to have any chance of changing humankind’s present destructive environmental trajectory, we are going to need to ensure future generations of young people develop strong green environmental connections, habits and concerns.
METHODOLOGIES
The MTM Green Lifestyles project eighteen 3D animated videos enlists the lovable 3D animated characters, of the Virtasian Tales book and videos, to assist teachers & parents develop young people’s green skills, as well as instill attachments and awareness of the earth's natural environments and ecosystems .
It is this relationship and learning methodology, the MTM project aims to propagate. Utilizing a young person’s existing strong relationships with his or her teachers, parents, and grandparents, and with the aid of the MTM videos, it is hoped that these highly regarded and respected figures in every child’s life can help create awareness of, and instill attachments to, the trees, shrubs and flowers they help plant and nurture while undertaking the MTM Challenges and activities together.
