Doing More 

We double the impact by planting a tree in your name

Using less

Are you already a part of the movement? Awesome! You can keep making small changes in your daily lives to make a big impact and help the planet. Here are some easy examples to try out:

Hop on a bike

Cycling produces less than a tenth of the carbon dioxide emissions produced while driving

Turn the lights off

If you do so whenever you leave a room, you can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 70 grams per hour

Recycle

It can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions as manufacturing products from recycled materials requires less energy than making products from new materials

Choose local food

Any type of transportation uses fuel which increases carbon dioxide emissions

Doing more

This is where Netafim stepped in and doubled the impact of your action by planting a tree on your behalf. Netafim has teamed up with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organization focused on global reforestation, and picked three planting projects in: India, California and Brazil.

It’s official, you are a #UsingLessDoingMore movement member.
We are excited to plant this tree on your behalf.
Don’t stop there, keep #UsingLess and #DoingMore and spread the word!

Brazil: Corridors for Life Phase II 

These days, the Atlantic Forest covers about 12% of its original area due to issues caused by climate change. Netafim has teamed up with One Tree Planted organization in –"The Corridors for Life Project" that addresses these issues on a large-scale, multi-year restoration effort that will create 600 km² of forest connectivity for endemic and endangered species. 

India: Sand Dunes & Biodiversity  

The health of estuaries in coastal systems provides ecological services like protection from cyclones and also as a habitat for many important plant and animal species. Netafim has teamed up with One Tree Planted organization in their project in the Rajakkamangalam Pandiyar River that aims at regenerating an ecosystem, where it has degraded due to exploitative use, industrial and urban pollution from upstream, and tourism.  

California: Kutras Ranch Wildfire Restoration 

Wildfires have devastated Shasta County in recent years. Netafim has teamed up with the One Tree Planted organization in this reforestation project and will help to ensure that 600 acres of the forest start regrowing. The enrichment planting will speed the process of returning the ranch to a forest, with the associated benefits of wildlife habitat, carbon sequestration, and watershed enhancement.

How does planting trees
double the impact?

Here are a few ways trees help the environment:

They provide oxygen

When trees breathe, they inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. In fact, in one year, they can release enough oxygen for you to breathe for a year.

They clean

Through their leaves and bark, trees absorb harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxides, ozone, and carbon monoxide, and sweep up particles like dust

They capture carbon

Did you know that the average tree can capture 22 kg of carbon dioxide per year? This means more than 1000 kg during a tree’s lifetime

Thank you for joining Netafim’s #UsingLessDoingMore movement!

Today you proved that with a small action you can make a big impact.
