Clean Air Gardening plants 35,000 trees in a month, with lots of help from our customers and Trees for the Future!

The results are in.

In the month of April, we raised money from customers at checkout, matched it, and ended up donating enough money to Trees for the Future to plant 25,000 trees.

Then, also in April, we had an Earth Day event here in Dallas that raised enough money with our 100 percent match to plant another 10,000 trees.

Together, those donations add up to 35,000 trees. And that’s just one month! We’re up to a total of 142,000 trees, so far.

Thanks to everyone who opted to add a donation to their order to go directly to Trees for the Future, a non profit organization that plants 10 trees for every $1 they receive.

According to Trees for the Future,

Since 1989, Trees for the Future has been helping communities around the world plant trees. Through seed distribution, agroforestry training, and our country programs, we have empowered rural groups to restore tree cover to their lands. Planting trees protects the environment and helps to preserve traditional livelihoods and cultures for generations.

We think this is a great organization because not only are they planting trees, they are helping grow communities! We also like it that each dollar they receive results in the planting of 10 trees — the most efficient number we have found anywhere.

That’s why, when you check out of our store, we give you the option to donate $1, $5 or $10 to Trees for the Future. We match those donations, dollar for dollar. And that means that for every dollar you give during checkout, you are helping plant 20 trees!

What could be better than doubling your impact with an already efficient organization?

Thanks again to everyone who has donated. Hopefully, we will be able to plant even more trees in the future through Trees For the Future.
