TRANSFORMING EVENTS TO HEAL THE PLANET
Our mission is to reduce waste and restore nature by helping events plant trees instead of producing unnecessary merch.
WHY EVENTS NEED A GREENER SOLUTION
Events worldwide produce vast amounts of unnecessary merchandise like t-shirts, water bottles, and tote bags. These items:
- Use significant natural resources in production.
- Often end up unused or discarded, contributing to landfill waste.
- Generate carbon emissions through production and transport.

"The choice to plant trees instead of producing event merchandise is about creating a double positive impact on the environment: Avoiding harm and doing good."
WHY CHOOSE A TREE, OVER A TEE?
Planting trees with Trees Not Tees is about creating a sustainable future while tackling environmental issues from multiple angles. When you choose to plant a tree instead of producing event merchandise, you're helping to:
-
AVOID POLLUTION AND WASTE
Producing merchandise, such as t-shirts, often involves harmful processes, including the use of water-intensive cotton farming, chemical dyes, and energy-intensive manufacturing. By opting out of merchandise, you prevent waste, reduce carbon emissions, and avoid contributing to landfill overflow.
-
RESTORE ECOSYSTEMS
Learn MoreEach tree planted creates new habitats for wildlife, reversing the effects of deforestation and promoting the return of native species. Healthy ecosystems improve biodiversity and strengthen natural resilience.
-
IMPROVE SOIL AND WATER HEALTH
Learn MoreTrees help prevent soil erosion, restore degraded land, and filter water, contributing to healthier, more sustainable landscapes.
-
BUILD CLIMATE RESILIENCE
Learn MorePlanting diverse native species ensures the creation of resilient woodlands that can adapt to pests, diseases, and the challenges of climate change. These robust ecosystems also play a crucial role in building climate resilience by stabilising soils, regulating water cycles, and reducing the impact of extreme weather events.
-
CUT DOWN ON OVERPRODUCTION
Merchandise is often over-ordered, leading to waste and excess stock that is discarded. Opting for tree planting avoids this cycle entirely, ensuring your choice directly benefits the planet.
-
ENGAGE COMMUNITIES
Our projects inspire action, offering individuals and organisations the chance to make meaningful environmental contributions while spreading awareness about the importance of reducing waste. Meanwhile, communities near our planting sites benefit from access to green, natural spaces, and our land operations team ensure community involvement in various aspects of site management.
