1 bag sold = 1 tree planted
Here at Quirk, we really love trees. Like a lot. For good reason, too! Trees counteract climate change, clean our air, create habitats for biodiversity, prevent floods, and provide us with food. Quirk bags even come from trees!
Since trees give us so much, it's only fair that we give back. That's why we partner with One Tree Planted to plant one tree for every Quirk bag sold.
One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to global reforestation. Their projects span the globe and are done in partnership with local communities and knowledgeable experts to create an impact for nature, people, and wildlife. Reforestation helps to rebuild forests after fires and floods, provide jobs for social impact, and restore biodiversity.
Why plant trees?
Trees fight climate change. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the major contributor to global warming, and release oxygen for us to breathe.
Trees clean the air. It's not just CO2 that trees absorb. They also absorb pollutants like nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and ozone.
Trees prevent natural disasters. Trees capture and filter water, reducing the risk of natural disasters like floods and landslides.
Trees provide a habitat for wildlife. A single tree can be home to hundreds of species of insect, fungi, moss, mammals, and plants.
