It is paramount our members know the trees are being planted and are making a difference. That is why we bring you regular tree planting reports and publish all our purchase receipts.
Our tree planting partner Eden Reforestation has been going since 2004 and is used by major brands such as Ecosia and others. We purchase trees with them every quarter and here are all the invoices and purchase receipts.
In the four months since launch we have planted a staggering 12,748 new trees on this lovely planet and it is all thanks to our members. Thank you one and all.
We plant our trees across three sites in northern Madagascar, a nation which has sadly been in the news lately as climate change is causing issues for the people in the south of the Island. Climate change impacts upon everyone however it is the poorest and most vulnerable people it effects the most.
The trees planted really do help and here is a great video showing how they help the environment and the people.
We love Dr Stephen Fitch’s soothing voice and feel this video is tremendously powerful.
The first part of the video highlights the damage deforestation can do however the second is full of hope and how planting new trees, reforesting the land, helps to make a huge difference:
– Soil erosion stops
– Flooding stops
– Better soil
– Better fishing & farming
– Rainfall patterns return
– Animals return to habitat
– Trees absorb CO2
