OLPRO's Tree Planting 2021 Round-Up
Almost everyone is aware of the negative impact that climate change is having on the environment that we love so much, so in late 2020, we began our collaboration with Ecologi to plant a tree for every OLPRO tent or awning sold on our website in 2021.
As an outdoor brand, it’s incredibly important for us to do everything we can to take care of the outdoors. We try to encourage as much sustainable camping as possible and it’s great to see that not only are our customers working hard to be sustainable, but campsites are also working hard to ensure that they are sustainable and promote it to their campers. Interest has never been higher in the current climate crisis and it’s important to promote sustainable living and sustainable camping, so that future generations can enjoy the planet for a lot longer.
Whilst 2021 has been an incredibly challenging year globally, we’ve managed to plant an amazing number of trees that has contributed to reforestation all over the world. At the end of 2021 we have planted 3,753 trees! All these trees have contributed to reforestation in Madagascar, Mozambique, and Nicaragua! We’re proud of the number of trees that we’ve been able to plant, but we’re also proud to have reduced carbon by 10.71T, which is equivalent to 32 metres squared of sea ice saved!
We’re incredibly excited to carry on our tree planting initiative in 2022 and to not only plant a tree for every tent or awning sold, but to also plant a tree for every brand new OLPRO backpack sold on our website!
