Frequently asked questions
Where do the trees get planted?
When you gift trees through our platform, they are planted as part of global reforestation efforts led by Eden Reforestation Projects or Earthlungs Reforestation Projects. These initiatives have active planting sites across the world, with current projects focused in Honduras and Kenya. Each site is meticulously chosen to ensure both environmental and social benefits, aligning with our commitment to combat extreme poverty and protect the planet through strategic reforestation.
How can you possibly plant for such a low price?
Our ability to plant at such a low price is made possible through our partnership with local organizations such as Eden Reforestation and Earthlungs Reforestation, who efficiently utilize largely free or affordable resources for planting. With a focus on native species, which naturally propagate and require minimal external resources, our projects benefit from a self-sustaining environment. Their fair wages for local employees, coupled with streamlined processes in developing nations, enable us to plant a significant number of trees economically.
How can I trust my money is going to support people and the planet?
Our commitment to transparency and trust is backed by two key measures.
Firstly, we partner exclusively with UN-accredited projects that are rigorously vetted and audited to guarantee their impact.
Secondly, we offer complete visibility through our planting partner's public ledger accessible here, documenting every transaction with our project partners. This ensures you know exactly where your contributions go.
Our planting partners
We facilitate our tree planting through reputable, environmentally responsible organizations dedicated to fighting deforestation and extreme poverty. They employ local communities to plant native trees, restoring ecosystems and providing livelihoods for millions.
Why plant trees
Trees are the earth's lungs
producing approximately 20% of the oxygen we breathe. A mature tree can produce enough oxygen for up to four people per day.
Trees absorb CO2
a major contributor to climate change. A single mature tree can absorb around 48 pounds of CO2 annually. For example, a hectare of forest can sequester up to 30 tons of CO2 per year.
Trees provide habitats
for a wide range of species. The Amazon rainforest houses about 10% of the world's known species.
Trees prevent soil erosion
by binding soil together. In regions like the Loess Plateau in China, tree planting initiatives have reduced soil erosion by up to 90%.
Trees regulate water cycle
The Amazon rainforest, for example, releases water vapor through transpiration, which contributes to rainfall patterns across South America.
