LIFE ON EARTH
Every £1,000 order, we plant a tree!
We believe that small actions lead to big change.
That’s why we plant a tree for every £1,000 spent with us, turning your orders into a force for environmental good.
Your impact in numbers (so far):
- 23,057 trees planted in total, restoring forests and ecosystems.
- 1,959 hours of community work generated since 2023, providing jobs and skills for local people.
- Equivalent to 2,423 homes offset, delivering clean air and reducing environmental impact.
- 2.31 tonnes of CO2e absorbed within the first 20 years of these trees' lives.
