This month we partnered with Plant with Purpose to plant a tree in the developing world for every vehicle and tire sold in May. Plant with Purpose educates communities and shows them that caring for the environment builds resilience, increases crop yields, and revitalizes their community for a long term future. The implementation of sustainable agriculture techniques has lead to more productive crops, and these family farms have flourished.

Savings groups are established so farmers do not depend solely on outside donations, but on the savings from their agricultural sales. These efforts to employ the farmer’s talents and be active participants in change help contribute to discovering they can grow out of poverty.

In order to help spread the word, we gave our employees desk plants so they can feed them and watch them grow, and tell our customers how their purchases are changing the world one plant at a time.

We would like to thank all of the customers that have taken part in this partnership and contributed to making this world a better place.
