Plant a Tree

Helping events and participants save the planet

Millions of pieces of merch are produced and given away each year that are never used.

Let’s plant millions of trees instead.

 

We work with event organisers to give participants the option of planting a tree rather than getting a piece of merch they never needed.

Why choose Trees not Tees?

We’re in a climate crisis. The environmental cost of useless merch is massive. A cotton t-shirt, for example, requires the same amount of water that a person drinks in 2.5 years to manufacture, plus over 2kg of eCO2. If it’s never even worn, all of those precious resources were spent for nothing.

Equally, the environmental benefit of planting a tree is huge. It helps us fight against climate change by taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, it provides a home for a diverse range of species, and it gives us clean air to breathe. At Trees not Tees we work with a wide variety of events from marathons to conferences, so if you’re planning an event and would like to have a positive impact, sign up today.

Where are the trees planted?

We have already purchased land in the UK, and we are planting native forest of oak, birch, rowan and alder. We’ve got a certified planting scheme and we always plant the right tree in the right place. Once we have planted the tree we will send a certificate via email to the participant with a picture of their young tree, details of the species of tree we have planted and a geo-location address on what3words.

corporate event- ecofriendly gift

Corporate Events

If you’re planning a corporate event and want to ditch the throwaway swag for an eco-friendly corporate gift, then you’ve come to the right place. Choosing to plant a tree for your event goodie bag is environmentally friendly and a gift that each event attendee will remember. Let’s swap the polluting merchandise given out at corporate events and plant millions of trees instead!

Race Events

Waste is a growing problem in the sports industry and race events are no exception. It’s not only about water bottle waste, race finisher tees and goodie bags are also part of the issue. Often the race swag offered to participants, like medals and t-shirts, end up in landfill or in the back of a wardrobe, never to be worn. Trees not Tees can help you make a positive environmental impact.
