With the baobab planted in Kenya, Treedom, an Italian platform based in Florence, which allows you to plant trees remotely and follow their history online, crosses the milestone of one and a half million trees planted worldwide in ten years of activity.
The company says this in a note that also announces the start of the 'The Greatest Gift' campaign for Christmas 2020: the possibility with one click to give a tree remotely and safely, to promote environmental and social sustainability projects.
By connecting to the treedom.net site, the note explains, it is possible to choose between different species of trees, each with its own meaning, the benefits it is able to bring and the country in which it will be planted: a cocoa in Cameroon, a coffee in Guatemala, a mango in Kenya. The trees are planted and cared for by local farming communities who will plant them along with their annual crops, such as corn or beans. Thanks to fruit trees they have the opportunity to diversify their sources of food supply and potential income. In addition, trees are planted that are able to shade, protect crops from the wind, retain and enrich the soil with their roots. Each tree has its own page on treedom.net, through which you can know its exact position, see its photo when it is planted on the ground, the amount of carbon dioxide it will absorb and follow the history of the project it will give life to over time. . "We have already planted 1.5 million trees - comments Federico Garcea, 39, founder of Treedom - but this is only the beginning and this year we want to give the planet the greatest gift, involving people from all over the world to plant new ones. trees and make your own Christmas gifts ".
