CICERO, Ill., Nov. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The PRIDE Purpose™ teamed up with the Chicago Region Trees Initiative (CRTI), through The Morton Arboretum to plant trees in Chicagoland. Together they planted trees at J. Sterling Morton High School East, last Wednesday. The school had been in need of some trees and The PRIDE Store volunteers, along with Morton East students, planted 15 shade trees around the high school's campus. The Purpose™ program, powered by GreenPrint, has planted over 2,500 trees and reduced over 13 million gallons of fuel since its launch this May.
