The different ways businesses are planting trees (& offsetting their carbon emissions)
A roundup of the creative ways businesses use More Trees to plant trees and offset carbon emissions — from Black Friday and quiz prizes to event attendees, Christmas, and deliveries.
When More Trees launched, the goal was straightforward: enable businesses to take climate action with minimal friction, either automatically or manually.
The vision encompassed businesses planting trees for every Shopify order, paid invoice, or taxi ride taken.
However, the organization underestimated the creativity companies would demonstrate in finding reasons to plant trees.
Daily, More Trees celebrates inventive approaches to tree planting. Below are featured examples from the past month:
Planting trees for Black Friday
Personalized gift boutique Birdie Barn rebranded Black Friday as "Green Friday" by planting one tree per order received on the shopping event, according to Sarah at Birdie Barn.
Planting trees for quiz prizes
The quiz boom of 2020—conducted via Zoom rather than pubs—inspired Longhurst to plant trees honoring virtual pub quiz winners.
Planting trees for event attendees
Growthdeck adapted its annual festivities for virtual attendance, delivering festive packages to participants while planting trees in their names "to sequester future CO2 emissions."
Planting trees for Christmas
Rather than sending physical Christmas cards, numerous partners planted trees instead, combining celebration with environmental benefit.
Planting trees for deliveries
eCommerce fulfillment specialist Huboo plants trees for its customers, amplifying positive global impact.
