Brantford, Ontario Author Donating March Book Sales
to Forests Ontario for Tree Planting
Brantford,
Canada March 1, 2020 – Author and activist, Michael Poeltl, is donating
his March book sales to non-profit charity, Forests Ontario. The Brantford
native says he wants to encourage awareness, tree planting, and the protection
of our natural places.
“Every individual can do something to help decrease the effects of
global climate change by reducing their carbon footprint,” says Poeltl. “Considering that March is when we celebrate
the first day of spring, Earth Hour, International Day of Happiness, National
Puppy Day (which pairs nicely with the Day of Happiness) I’ve decided I can do more too.”
Poeltl is
an author whose published books include: An
Angry Earth, The Judas Syndrome trilogy, the A.I. Insurrection trilogy, and Her Past’s
Present to name a few.
“For every one of my books purchased in March of
2020, whether kindle or paperback, I am donating all proceeds to one of my
favourite environmental charities – Forests Ontario,” Poeltl explains. “Forests Ontario
is the non-profit charity responsible for
the 50 Million Tree Program,
The Ontario Envirothon, and Forest Recovery Canada. They’ve planted more than
33 million trees in Canada so far, and I want to help that number rise.”
Poeltl went on to say that, “There is a quote I
love, and it makes me think of my father who has been a big supporter of the
environment by planting trees, gardens, and maintaining a balance in his
approach to living in a modern world while understanding his part in keeping it beautiful for his children
and grandchildren. It’s an ancient Greek proverb which, I think, rings truer now then ever before: A society
grows great when old men plant
trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit. Let’s be great!”
Poeltl
adds that in the first week of April, 2020, he will release his Amazon sales
statistics for the month of March on his Facebook
author page with the
donation confirmation. “My birthday wish is that everyone can enjoy a bright
future. Read a book under an old tree this summer, grateful
for someone else’s
foresight in planting it.”
On a final note, Poeltl has this to say, “The climate is changing. The countries that don’t change
with it will die. Like the industrial revolution, the climate revolution will change the way we manufacture our futures,
and how we produce our energy. If Canada doesn’t stop investing in fossil fuels
now and realize the only way we’ll have an economic future is through Green
practices, we’ll suffer the consequences on every front. Let’s be the example
of how the world can prosper from Green energy and sustainable living. Let’s
not exist in an unsustainable past. This March, give and get.”
