Sustainability
With each order you place with us, TheaterSeatStore finances the planting of a tree through our partnership with One Tree Planted, helping to restore nature and its biodiversity, and raising awareness of the importance of trees and sustainability.
Thank you for your support.
One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) non-profit on a mission to help the environment by planting trees. Their six pillars of reforestation include cleaning the air, capturing rainwater, protect biodiversity, social impact, health, and climate.
The organization plants trees across communities to restore forests after fires and floods, provide jobs for social impact, and restore habitats. To date they have planted over 40 million trees in more than 43 countries across the globe.
Trees play an important role in the water cycle, grounding the water in their roots and releasing it into the atmosphere. Here are some interesting facts about trees and the impact of deforestation around the world.
- Up to 48lbs. of CO2 is sequestered by a mature tree every year.
- 1.6 billion people rely on forests for their livelihoods.
- 80,000 acres of forests disappear from the Earth every day.
- 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions are the result of deforestation.
- 28,000 species are expected to become extinct by the next 25 years due to deforestation.
- Deforestation comes in many forms, including fires, clear-cutting for agriculture, ranching and development, unsustainable logging for timber, and degradation due to climate change.
