In the face of climate change, deforestation, and global environmental crises, initiatives that promote sustainability are becoming increasingly crucial. That's why Restaurantware is excited to introduce our "Plant One On Us" program. Since March 2021, we've committed to planting a tree for every purchase made on Restaurantware.com. With this initiative, we've already planted over 325,000 trees, working with our partner, Trees for the Future, to make a tangible impact on the environment and communities in need.
Why Do You Need To Plant Trees?
Trees are essential for our planet's health and well-being. They absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, and help mitigate climate change. Beyond the environmental impact, tree planting can also have significant social benefits. Planting trees can:
-
Combat Climate Change: Trees are natural carbon sinks, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
-
Restore Biodiversity: Forests provide habitat for countless species of plants and animals, promoting biodiversity.
-
Support Local Economies: By providing resources like fruit and wood, trees can support local economies and create sustainable livelihoods.
How Does "We Plant A Tree With Every Purchase" Work?
Our program is simple. Each time you make a purchase on our website, we plant a tree in partnership with Trees for the Future. There's no additional cost to you, and the impact is significant. With every order, you're contributing to the fight against deforestation and helping improve the lives of farmers in developing countries.
One Tree Planted: Making A Difference
Trees for the Future is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending hunger, reducing poverty, and improving the environment through tree planting. They focus on agroforestry, an approach that combines agriculture with forestry to create sustainable food sources and ecosystems. Trees for the Future trains farmers to plant and care for trees, teaching them skills that can transform their communities.
The Forest Garden Approach
The Forest Garden Approach is a unique model developed by Trees for the Future to create sustainable agricultural systems. This approach focuses on planting fast-growing fruit and vegetable trees alongside traditional crops, creating a diverse and sustainable source of food and income. The benefits of this approach include:
-
Food Security: By growing a variety of crops, farmers can ensure a steady food supply throughout the year.
-
Economic Stability: The ability to sell excess produce provides farmers with a reliable source of income.
-
Environmental Restoration: The combination of trees and crops helps restore soil health and promote biodiversity.
Why Is Tree Planting Worth It?
Tree planting is more than just an environmental initiative. It's a way to create lasting change in communities around the world. By planting trees with every purchase, we can help:
-
Reduce Poverty: The Forest Garden Approach provides farmers with the tools and knowledge to create sustainable livelihoods.
-
Fight Hunger: The diverse crops grown in Forest Gardens offer a reliable source of food for families and communities.
-
Restore Ecosystems: Planting trees helps restore degraded land, reducing soil erosion and promoting biodiversity.

As mentioned before, since the launch of our "Plant One On Us" program in March 2021, Restaurantware has planted over 325,000 trees. This number continues to grow with each purchase, allowing us to make a greater impact year after year. This initiative is just one part of our broader commitment to sustainability.
