Tree Planting with Bamboovement. How does it work?

At Bamboovement, business doesn't just mean profits and markets but also care for the planet and its inhabitants. We're all about shaking things up, setting new standards, and living in harmony with nature. That's why we're big on tree planting, a simple yet effective way to help the environment. But how exactly does tree planting work with Bamboovement? Well, we plant a tree for every order placed and every subscription to our newsletter. It's our little way of saying thank you, not just to you but also to Mother Nature.

Now, here's where it gets fascinating. We didn't just want to plant trees—anybody can do that—we wanted to make an impact far beyond the tree itself. That's why we've teamed up with a wonderful organisation that's a pioneer in its field and shares our vision for sustainable living. Enter Eden Reforestation Projects. Together, we're not just changing landscapes. We're changing lives. Wondering how? Brace yourselves because you're about to embark on a journey into the extraordinary world of tree planting and its potential to transform communities and ecosystems. Let's dive right in!

Tree planting benefits

In contrast to artificial structures designed to curtail greenhouse gas emissions, forests serve multiple essential functions. They enhance biodiversity, mitigate flooding, and curb soil erosion. In addition, they form vital habitats for numerous species and offer resources that drive local economies, leading to job creation and wealth. Most importantly, plants and trees are highly efficient in maintaining climate equilibrium and reducing global warming. If you're intrigued by how vegetation can accomplish all these feats, continue reading to uncover the answers.

To start with, trees cool our planet by aiding cloud formation, reflecting sunlight and lowering the atmospheric temperature. This occurs through a mechanism known as transpiration: trees draw water from the soil via their roots and release it into the atmosphere through their leaves. This water vapour, combined with bacteria that act as condensation nuclei, accelerates the formation of clouds.

Secondly, trees help decrease atmospheric carbon levels. They absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into compounds released through the roots. These compounds sequester carbon underground, trapping it for hundreds of years in a process known as carbon sequestration.

Why Eden Reforestation Projects?

Alas, rapidly planting countless monocultural trees isn't an adequate solution to the deforestation crisis. A more holistic perspective is required to tackle this issue effectively. This approach considers trees integral to broader ecosystems and emphasises appropriate planting strategies. Reforestation should prioritise the environment's well-being over purely human interests, as these ecosystems function like vital organs helping the Earth maintain its temperature.

That's precisely what Eden Reforestation Projects has been about since they set up shop in 2005. Their approach called the 'Employ-to-Plant' methodology, is all about working closely with local communities and their leaders. They offer financial incentives and easy-to-follow planting methods to help these communities breathe new life into their local environment and economy. The beauty of it is that Eden's way is straightforward enough to be picked up and used anywhere, even in places with few resources and where there are all sorts of infrastructure issues like bumpy roads, power outages, and sketchy internet. And by putting local communities front and centre in their work, Eden helps foster a strong sense of dedication to reforestation and a long-term commitment to protecting their forests. At the end of the day, Eden's success and the success of these communities go hand in hand, showing that sustainable reforestation is a team effort.

These combined efforts have resulted in staggering results. For example, Eden has planted nearly a billion trees in ten countries by May 2023. At the same time, providing work to local communities, they empowered almost 15.000 local community members, and thus their kids as well, with fair wages in return for their efforts.
