Helping you save the world, one tree at a time.

  • We seeks to inspire as many people as possible to plant a tree in their free time.

  • We seeks to support individuals and communities in their planting activities through our established network of conservationist and nurseries in California & US, and we seek to extend our reach and support globally.

  • Each time a donation is received, a tree planting kit is shipped out to the donator from their local nursery with instruction to plant.

Executive Summary

We Are Rooted is a movement created to combat the devastation that deforestation has inflicted upon our global environment. To encourage environmental activism amongst our mostly 15 to 35 year-old donors, we utilize social media platforms, creating viral tree-planting challenges that are endorsed by influencers popular with our target audience. We essentially wish to turn our donors into planters. Additionally, we host university-sponsored events and produce a podcast that features discussions with well-known environmental experts and activists, increasing awareness of our organization.

There are room for 1.2 trillion tree to be planted to reverse Climate Change

Planting tree movement is gaining momentum, millions and billion of tree has been pledged to be planted, but globally, we are far from reaching this goal

13.6 Billion tree has been planted

by One Trillion Tree Initiative

(Feb 2020)

American plant 1.6 billion tree per year, 33% surpass harvested tree

Globally, annual tree harvest vs. production on a world-wide scale shows that humans cut down approximately 15 billion trees a year and plant about 5 billion.

But it is just not any tree, the tree selected need to be local and belong to the historic local environment for the whole Ecosystem to work.

“If every one of us took a couple of hours this weekend to plant a tree, it would eventually reduce the carbon dioxide level by around 6 percent from the current level”

Competitive Analysis

Organizations that specialize in planting trees to help improve the environment offer slightly different services and amenities for donors, supporters, and volunteers.

We Are Rooted’s mission of getting more people involved in our efforts to save the environment is what makes us unique. We Are Rooted also has a global footprint that is seeking to diminish our carbon footprint.
