Zap! Trees Mission: To Plant 1 Million Trees by 2010

ZAP is creating a major campaign to plant 1 million trees by 2010. Currently our manufacturer in China has agreed to plant one tree for every vehicle they make in China in the new manufacturing Plant. We have already planted the first ceremonial tree in China: "The America China Friendship Tree" What is the America China Friendship Tree Project all about? The "America China Friendship Tree" was selected to symbolize the new U.S.-China joint venture to develop forms of transportation that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ZAP Chairman Gary Starr says the collaboration can go a long way towards restoring a balance with nature. We would like to utilize Trees for the future to help in our endeavor. Trees for the Future have identified fast growing tees that can grow as much as 24 feet in a year. To launch our relationship with Trees, we have already provide funding for 50,000 trees. Our goal is to donate a minimum of $10 for every electric car we sell in the USA, or enough funding for 100 trees. Additionally, we will be asking our customers to donate $25.00 for every electric car they purchase, out of this donation, we will plant up to 200 trees. We believe that we should sell between 5,000 and 10,000 vehicles within the next 3 years, and therefore we should be able to provided enough funding for 1 million trees. We Plan to Do the Following: 1. Plant 1 million trees within 3 years 2. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions through sales of Xebra Electric Cars 3. For every sale of a vehicle sold we will plant a tree in the United States and China 4. Complete by summer of 2007, we will produce 50,000 electric and alternative fuel vehicles a year employing a workforce of 1,200 people
