Back in April 2021, myself and the other environment ambassadors decided to introduce an initiative to gift a tree to all new starters with Thrive Tribe. And we've just reached the milestone or organising the planting of 100 trees (wow, we are growing quickly!)

Planting tress is a great place to start when it comes to offsetting our carbon emissions. Because trees use carbon dioxide to build their trunks, branches, roots and leaves, they are natural carbon absorbers and help to clean the air. In fact, one tree can absorb 22lbs of carbon per year in their first 20 years of growth! And the benefits don't stop there: healthy trees hold soil together, provide a home for wildlife, regulate temperatures, slow the flow of water through landscapes, grow vital foods and medicines, and more.

We use Creating Tomorrow's Forests to plant our trees and you can find out more about them here.

We're continuing to plant trees for every starter, but we're also aware that we need to do more to reduce our carbon footprint. Watch this space for more news on this throughout 2022.
