How often do you encounter a business with such a beneficial agenda?

We work with local community organizations (schools, Boy Scouts, Forest Service) to replant forests that have been cleared or have been burned in a forest fire. Do you live near a site that needs replanting? If so, drop us a line.

Our agenda is to plant trees, and save trees from being cut down through the shredding and recycling of household documents. Buy A Tree, then Save a Tree.

We are not a charity and are not asking for donations. We are one of the new breed of eco-businesses: using a for-profit business model to make a difference in our environment.

Trees and forests are good for many things. Beyond the environmental beauty, they provide an important role in absorbing carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) and producing oxygen. One acre of trees absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and produces four tons of oxygen. This is enough to meet the annual needs of 18 people. (source: U.S. Department of Agriculture)

The concept of trees as carbon “sinks” is well established. Older trees are larger, meaning they store more carbon. When we recycle paper, we avoid the need to cut down a tree to make more paper, and the carbon in that tree is retained. When we don’t recycle paper, it goes into a landfill, where it decomposes and the carbon is released.

This program benefits all stakeholders: the environment gets two trees for every transaction (one new, one saved) and the individual gets security from identity theft, knowing their documents are being shredded before recycling.
