GREEN WORLDWIDE RELEASES Q3 TREES DONATIONS IMPACT
Green Worldwide has planted over 432,500 trees since establishing its Green Tree Initiative in 2019. Partnering with Trees for the Future, Green Worlwide plants a tree for every customer, every shipment, and every new employee hired. Green donated 17,500 trees in Q3. Green’s donated trees sequestered nearly 3,512,825+ pounds of carbon last quarter! Sequestered carbon is captured or absorbed through trees and plant life, helping to slow climate change, improve air quality, and reduce air pollution.
“At Green, it is fundamental to Invest in Relationships. We are truly invested in our relationship with Trees for the Future, and proud that every single one of Green’s shipments, customers, and employees contributes to poverty alleviation, carbon sequestration, and sustainable land use through our Trees donations.”
