Attention, Nature Lovers! 

Experts agree: Planting trees is the number one thing we can do to help nature at its current fragile state. We are hurtling towards a global crisis. Can we still stop it? You’ll be surprised how easy it can be to make a huge impact on our planet’s future.

Not sure if you have been aware but the environment isn’t doing too well lately.

From the fires to the pollution, fracking, and just about every other thing big corporations do to put a dollar in their pocket… It’s not a big stretch saying things are in a scary place. While the future of our children and even ourselves are in the hands of greedy politicians, alongside the pandemic, it seems there are no good things coming out in this world.

In the past 50 years we have produced more carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases, than in the previous 10,000 years. 

❌ We cut down over 15 billion trees every year. 

❌ We produce almost 500,000 new pieces of plastic containers EVERY MINUTE.

❌ We are destroying the planet at an epic rate.

We are running out of time. No seriously. It’s much worse than we thought and 1000 times worse than what the politicians bring it out to be. 

How bad? 10 years. 

That’s how much time the smartest minds in the world came up with to completely change course, to save our children's future. This is happening in our lifetime and we need to make it stop! It's that, or we are fu****. End of story. Just look at the news coming from Antarctica. 

Treehuggers Bracelets is working to change all of that. If not to reverse this, at least to help STOP the literal destruction of our planet.

Here is the catch…

We need you, the world absolutely needs you (this is not an understatement). You can make a huge positive impact and literally help save our planet.

How? By doing a few simple good deeds every day. 

✅ You can save tons of CO2 emissions per year, by simply turning off the light when you leave a room. Less electricity produced, less emissions polluting our atmosphere. Using energy efficient light bulbs also makes a huge impact and will help save a few dollars on your next electric bill.

✅ Carpool or use public transportation when possible. Taking public transportation, walking, or riding a bike to class are better options that help the environment and your budget, as well as getting some exercise in!

✅ Water is wasted more frequently than we can see. Turn off the faucet as you are brushing your teeth. Limit your water usage as you wash dishes. Changing old habits will be good for both the environment and your wallet!

✅ Recycling is such a simple thing to do, yet so many people still don't do it. Contact your local garbage disposal company to see what recycling options they offer.

✅ Use reusable bags when you go shopping. Plastic grocery-type bags that get thrown out end up in landfills or in other parts of the environment. These can suffocate animals who get stuck in them or may mistake them for food. Also, it takes a while for the bags to decompose.

✅ Plant trees - Trees are the lungs of the Earth. They keep our air clean and our water filtered. Trees provide shelter for entire wildlife populations and contribute to a strong and healthy ecosystem. Literally saving entire species.
