I want to sign-up, how does it work?
- Use the examples listed to determine how you wish to create your pledge.
- We will send you an email to confirm your account creation. With this account you can make changes to your monthly subscription, or pause and resume your plan at any time.
Note: Only businesses that are wholly Plant-based will be accepted.
Per Products/Services sold
Plant trees based on the average number of products/services sold a month. For example 1 tree per product/service sold, or 10 trees per product (for higher valued products/services).
Or for lesser value products/services, a tree can be planted for every 10 products/services sold.
Percentage of revenue
Plant trees based on a percentage of average monthly or annual revenue.
Example: Pledge amount is 1% of average revenue (in USD). Divide revenue by 0.30 to calculate the number of trees planted.
Where monthly revenue is $75,000, the amount pledged based on 1% will be $750, which can plant 2500 trees (at 30c per tree).
Pledge to plant X number of trees
For example, you may wish to plant 5000 trees a month or 50,000 trees a year (at a cost of 30c per tree) as a pledge that’s not related to the number of products or services sold.
