ecomaids of Portland has partnered with One Tree Planted who planted over 50 million trees in 2022, restoring old-growth forests and empowering rural smallholder farmers. \u00a0For every Initial Service sold, ecomaids will plant one tree.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking with One Tree Planted is a great fit for ecomaids,\u201d said ecomaids of Portland founder and Chief Executive Officer, Lindsay Dellasega. \u201cSustainability is at the core of our business model. While we have always committed to sustainability with eco-friendly products, waste reduction, and conservation, it\u2019s great to have another way to give back and help the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Planting trees is consistently identified as one of the best ways to combat the damaging effects of climate change. Trees help to clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat for over 80 percent of the world\u2019s terrestrial biodiversity. Trees also provide lasting social impact by providing jobs to over 1.6 billion people, empowering women in underdeveloped nations, and supporting communities that are devastated by environmental damage.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited for the opportunity to work with ecomaids on such an impactful project,\u201d said\u00a0One\u00a0Tree\u00a0Planted\u00a0founder and Chief Environmental Optimist, Matt Hill. \u201cWe admire the company\u2019s commitment to planting a tree for every new service sold. It\u2019s a prime example of how small businesses can make a positive impact for our planet.\u201d<\/p>\n
The partnership is designed to be a simple way for customers to give back and get involved in global reforestation. For every Initial Service sold, the company will give $1 to One Tree Planted to plant one tree. The trees are planted by local partner organizations and community volunteers in areas where deforestation has occurred.<\/p>\n
