Deforestation is one of the biggest threats we face as a global community, and yet, the solutions are complicated. This is why we work with non-profit organizations and communities around the world to combat the effects of deforestation, and work toward creating an evergreen future for us all. With over 30 million trees planted, it’s hard to ignore their positive impact. 🌲 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 17.7 million trees in Madagascar—restoring wildlife habitats, and providing local employment. 🌱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3 million trees in Senegal—providing food sources to communities, and producing much needed biomass energy. 🌿 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1.9 million trees in Nepal—preventing soil erosion and runoffs to lessen the likelihood of devastating landslide. 🌲 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We also plant in Haiti, Cambodia, Canada, USA, and Indonesia. Each site offers their own benefits to local environments, to produce a better planet for us all. To learn about all of our planting sites, click the link in our bio! ♻️ #tentree #treeplanters

As the world changes, increasing numbers of people are caring about sustainability when they make their purchases. Millennials and the Z Generation care more about the environment and sustainable consumerism than previous generations.

Tentree plants ten trees for every piece of apparel that you buy. The company has made impacts through over twenty tree planting projects in over ten countries, and its goal is to plant one billion trees by 2030. All of Tentree’s materials and dyes are natural and eco-friendly, too.
