In honor of Earth Day 2011, eco-gorgeous brand Lavanila Laboratories wants you to help them plant a forest! Lavanila will plant one tree through their partnership with The Nature Conservancy for every “LIKE” they receive on the their Facebook page today, April 22.

The new saplings will be a welcome addition to their ongoing, evergreen (pun intended) initiative of planting a tree for each purchase made on their site. What a simple way to make an impact for the environment!
