Together we will plant one billion trees. from TreeEra on Vimeo.

Recently I had the pleasure of attending the TreeEra launch dinner at Plant. Amoungst the great conversation around climate change, food from The Deane House, Matcha Custard Pie from Humble Pie and People, cocktails from Sugar Water and music from Michael Bernard Fitzgerald. We had a fantastic night and the dinner was a reminder of the incredible community leaders and entrepreneurs that we have Calgary. 

The goal is: “Together we will plant one billion trees”. TreeEra is not saying that planting trees will solve the problems of climate change, but by planting tress, we can start to make a difference. For the price of a drop-in workout, or a few good coffees ($20/month), individuals can start to make a measurable impact. One tree does an incredible amount of good. An individual subscription to TreeEra plants 200 trees in your name every year. A single tree offsets an average of one ton of carbon over its lifetime – that same tree can provide enough oxygen for a family. We lose a forest the size of New York City every 48 hours. Climate change can feel like a problem for scientists and future generations but as a community we can start to make a difference together.
