Plant a tree

„Deforestation affects wildlife, ecosystems, weather patterns, and even the climate.“

Deforestation drives 50.000 species to extinction each year

About 17 percent of the Amazonian rainforest has been destroyed over the past 50 years

Deforestation can be a strong driver of infectious disease transmission

Planting trees is the best way to tackle climate change

Every tree absorbs CO₂ out of the atmosphere, converts it into biomass and stores it as long as the forest is sustained. The concept is simple and has huge potential to be a lifesaver for our environment, as the most economical and effective way to tackle climate change¹. That's not all though: Trees provide even more benefits for the ecosystem by supporting the biodiversity and animal life while keeping the ground fertile, which in turn supports local communities². So every time a tree is planted it directly changes the world for the better.

Our project partners:

WeForest

We partner with WeForest to plant trees in Africa – in Tanzania and Zambia. Not only do the supported projects restore the forests in these regions, they also teach the local population to use these trees sustainably as their livelihood. Each time you donate seeds to support one of these projects we donate the cost of planting a tree together with our partners and sponsors. 100% of these donations go directly to WeForest. Find out more about WeForest here.

Eden Reforestation

Eden Reforestation has tree planting projects all over the world. We support two projects: The planting of Mangroves in Madagaskar to help maintain one of earth’s most diverse ecosystems and the animals living within and in Mosambik, where the reforestation is crucial as the forests which are being destroyed are a basis of life for the very poor population. Each time you donate seeds to support one of these projects we donate the cost of planting a tree together with our partners and sponsors. 100% of these donations go directly to Eden Reforestation.

goodbag, goodcup and the Sustainable Development Goals

What are SDGs?

The Sustainable Development Goals resulted from one of the most innovative processes in the history of the United Nations. Integrating substantive input from all parts of society and all parts of the world, they are the blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for everyone. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty,

inequality climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. There are 17 SDGs which are all interconnected and the main goal is to achieve them all by 2030. Governments are expected to translate the SDGs into national action plans, policies and initiatives, adapted to the individual capacities and properties of their countries. While they primarily target

the governments, the SDGs are designed as a common framework to rally a wide range of actors and shape priorities and aspirations for sustainable development. Most importantly, the SDGs recognise the key roles that businesses can and must play in achieving them. At goodbag we are dedicated to help achieve the SDGs below.

goodbag and goodcup fulfil 5 of the SDGs:

There needs to be a future in which cities provide opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and more.

Sustainable consumption and production is about promoting resource and energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, and providing access to basic services, green and decent jobs and a better quality of life for all.

Climate change is a global challenge that affects everyone, everywhere.

Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of a sustainable future.

Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss.
