In celebration of Earth Day, ORGANIC INDIA USA announced today, it has partnered with TREES for the FUTURE, creating the Teas for Trees campaign. Under the program, a tree in India will be planted for every box of Tulsi Tea ordered through the Organic India USA website (www. organicindiausa. com) through the end of April.

On making the announcement, Bhavani Lev, Co-Founder of ORGANIC INDIA stated, "I am excited to announce the Teas for Trees program, since our company has a passion for the environment and great respect for Mother Nature. We grow the Tulsi herb in India, where we suffer severe deforestation year after year. Earth Day is a great opportunity to raise people's awareness of this issue, and provide ways to solve this problem."

ORGANIC INDIA produces and markets a new line of 18 certified organic Tulsi Teas (http://www. organicindiausa. com/product_index. php? cPath=8). Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil, is grown in India. Tulsi Tea has many health benefits including its ability to relieve stress and provide added energy. Throughout India, Tulsi is revered as a sacred plant with healing powers, and is lovingly called the "Queen of Herbs."

In 2002, ORGANIC INDIA initiated organic certification for tens of thousands of acres in India. Since then, the company has helped thousands of farmers convert to organic, thereby providing many farmers with better lives. According to Ms. Lev, "We teach the tribal people who live in the forest to maintain the ecosystems and nurture the habitat, while harvesting forest fruits and herbs."

Earth Day provides an opportunity to recognize our fragile ecosystems throughout the world. In India dense forest cover is shrinking to a mere 11.71 percent and leading environmentalists see a serious imbalance emerging. "Let's celebrate our Mother Earth together, by planting trees in India which is devastated by deforestation. For each box of Tulsi Tea you order, we will plant a tree in India on your behalf," concluded Ms. Lev.

Join ORGANIC INDIA USA in its Teas for Trees (http://www. organicindiausa. com) campaign, so together we can make a difference.
