Please excuse SZA for the wait for new music; she’s busy saving the world.
In her ongoing journey to embrace and learn more about sustainability, the singer has teamed with TAZO Tea and American Forests to launch TAZO Tree Corps, a paid workforce that will plant trees and create jobs in underprivileged communities of color around the country to help fight climate change. The corps will consist of 25 locally hired fellows who will receive training in climate justice advocacy, tree planting, and maintenance. Over the next two years, they’ll work to achieve Tree Equity in Minneapolis, Detroit, the San Francisco Bay Area, the Bronx, and Richmond—areas where low-income communities have less green space.
