NEW YORK, Jun. 03- In recognition of UN World Environment Day, Avon Products Inc. (NYSE: AVP) today announced that it will plant two million trees to restore the Atlantic Rainforest in South America, one of the most critically endangered ecosystems in the world. This commitment is part of the company's Hello Green Tomorrow Campaign, announced in mid-March, to unleash the power of its woman-to-woman network of 6.2 million Avon Representatives and 300 million customers in a global women's environmental movement to nurture nature. In just 80 days, this veritable green army was able to virtually double the company's initial pledge of $1 million dollars, with every dollar going to the planting and restoration of one tree. Sixty countries, ranging from Japan to Mexico to Russia, are participating in the Hello Green Tomorrow campaign – making this the first truly global effort of its kind.
