Investing in our planet\u2019s health<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We recognize that human well-being is deeply connected to the health of our planet. While global health has improved<\/a> over the past century, environmental changes impact that progress, threatening the systems that support life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trees, often referred to as the lungs of our planet, play a pivotal role in tackling these challenges. An acre of mature trees absorbs approximately 2.6 tons<\/a> of carbon dioxide annually. Trees also filter pollutants, improving air quality and reducing respiratory issues in urban populations. Beyond physical health benefits, exposure to green spaces has been linked to enhanced mental health<\/a>, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. We have a lot to thank trees for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we look toward a healthier future, investing in reforestation and environmental restoration is not just an ecological necessity but a commitment to sustaining the well-being of future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our partners in growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make this vision a reality, we’re committing to planting a tree for every customer and team member each month. We’re teaming up with epic tree partners, known for their extraordinary rewilding efforts. This collaboration will help us plant trees in areas that need them the most, encouraging ecological balance and supporting local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first partnership is inspired by David Milarch, co-founder of the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive (AATA), who is on a mission to clone and replant some of the world\u2019s oldest and most vital trees. After a life-changing event in 1991, David dedicated himself to creating \u201cliving libraries\u201d of these ancient giants to ensure they thrive for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
