STEWARDSHIP

We're partnered with Trees for the Future to plant a tree for every TreePod purchased. As a company, we create products which encourage people to spend time outdoors and we want to do our part to give back to the environment.

"Trees for the Future is improving the livelihoods of impoverished farmers by revitalizing degraded lands. Since 1989, with our experience in planting over 115 million trees all over the world, we have demonstrated the transformative power of trees in helping people break out of the poverty trap while also addressing the global environment. Today, our work in East and West Africa is helping to build a world where people can leave a legacy of opportunity through sustainable practices and productive lands for future generations."

Purchasing a TreePod allows you to enjoy your trees and know another is being planted to help the people and areas that need them most. We value the transformative power of forests, trees, natural environments and the positive relationships people have with them. Supporting Trees for the Future is an important step we wanted to make to have a positive impact on the global community.

FACTS

• 80% of the worlds forests have already been destroyed
• 80,000 acres disappear each day
• 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions are the result of deforestation

ONE TREE

• Produces approximately 260 pounds of oxygen per year, enough to provide for a family of four
• Absorbs 13-48 lbs of CO2 annually as it matures- as much as a car produces driving 26,000 miles
• Helps lower air temperature and combat climate change
• Stabilizes soil through its roots which prevents erosion
• Contributes to the fertility of land through nitrogen fixation and increasing water penetration

Every planted tree gives rural communities in the developing world an opportunity to restore their environment and build a sustainable future. Every planted tree makes a small step towards a better world in which everyone of us would like to live.
