10 Companies that Plant a Tree for Every Product You Buy
It's International Forest Day and what better way to help the forests than to plant a tree? Here is our favorite list of 10 companies that plant a tree for every product they sell:
1. Woodchuck USA
Buy One. Plant One. We have a vision of a world more connected to nature. That's why we have partnered with American Forests to plant a tree for every product we sell. Be a part of this next chapter with us.
2. tentree
At tentree, we're focused on more than just planting trees. We want to help change lives. Not only does reforestation revitalize dry arid soil and provide a substantial oxygen supply, but it directly benefits locals living in the area by providing wood for fuel, food, and fodder for livestock, as well as permanent and seasonal employment. We have partnered with not-for-profits across the planet to ensure tentree has a truly global footprint, and can identify the regions that will benefit most from our planting.
3. WeWOOD
The brainchild of an Italian watch lover and two eco-smart entrepreneurs, WEWOOD fashions wooden timepieces from mostly scrap-wood and uses state-of-the-art Miyota movements for the guts, a hybrid of technology and nature resulting in a unique watch that's both handsome and earth friendly. With this cohesive collaboration, the goal is to help restore Mother Nature, one watch at a time, by planting a tree for every WeWOOD purchased. Since 2011, WEWOOD has planted over 420,000 trees with its partners and sets challenging targets for 2015 and beyond. One such challenge is our goal of planting 1 million trees by 2020. Keeping forests healthy and happy keeps us healthy and happy, we like to keep our reminder on our wrist.
4. etnies
The etnies Buy a Shoe, Plant a Tree project started in 2011 when etnies Owner and CEO, Pierre-Andre Senizergues decided to invest in the future by planting a tree in the Costa Rican rainforest for every pair of Jameson 2 Eco shoes sold. The following year, the program expanded to Brazil and the next phase of planting will take place in Africa. Thanks to the help of a partnership through Trees for the Future, the reforestation program has expanded to three continents in five years. etnies is proudly celebrating the milestone of reaching one million trees in the Buy a Shoe, Plant a Tree program. Every time a pair of etnies is purchased, a tree will be planted in the rainforest, representing that individual’s contribution and commitment to the planet. etnies is fighting for our planet.
5. Baron Fig
Creating is at the heart of everything we do. We started Baron Fig to celebrate the creators and their process, which we believe should also consider how we interact with the world around us. It's important that we leave the earth better than we found it. You've shown your support since we launched, now the Buy a Book, Plant a Tree endeavor is our way of giving back in appreciation. It's our way of showing thanks to you, our customers, as well as to the environment. So far your purchases have helped plant over 39,000 trees since we launched, with more being added to that number daily. For every Confidant you buy, we'll plant a tree.
6. good seeds apparel
Good Seeds will plant ONE TREE with EVERY order! With the help from our friends at Trees for the Future, our donations will plant trees with rural communities in the developing world, enabling them to restore their environment, grow more food, and build a more sustainable future. We're literally 'planting good seeds' all over the world, and making a difference! All thanks to you! Plant TREES. Change LIVES.
7. Wave Tribe
Through our partnership with Trees for the Future, Wave Tribe will gladly plant a tree in the Brazilian rainforest. We call it, Buy One, Get One Tree. Trees for the Future is an agroforestry resource center, working with people to improve livelihoods and restore degraded lands to sustainable productivity through planting beneficial trees. Planting trees in agroforestry systems provides a myriad of benefits, such as food; forage for animals; sustainable fuel wood and construction materials; increased agricultural yields; improved water infiltration and aquifer recharge; and protection of soils from wind and water erosion.
8. Trinity Oaks
Buy a bottle of wine and we'll plant a tree. It's just that simple...we will plant one tree for each bottle of Trinity Oaks sold. There's no limit to the number of trees we will plant, so buy a bottle of Trinity Oaks today and take one small step toward a greener tomorrow. Since 1989, Trees for the Future has helped 1 million people in thousands of communities in over 20 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America plant more than 80 million trees. Trees for the Future focuses their efforts on tropical locations around the globe where trees can have the most beneficial impact on the environment. In the United States, they also provide education to students and communities about the role of trees in the environment, energy efficiency and other global issues.
9. Prestige Decanters
Each year millions of trees fall in natural disasters within the United States. To achieve our goal of restoring Mother Nature, we’re planting a tree for every Prestige Decanter purchased. Our goal is to plant 100,000 trees, right here in America, because every time a tree is planted OUR environment improves.
10. Pacific Shaving Company
Since 2007, Pacific Shaving Company has been working with Trees for the Future, planting a tree for every purchase made. It's just one of our small but mighty ways of bringing sustainable business practices to the resource-heavy world of personal care products.
