Plant a tree for free in less than 1 minute. A small act of kindness for the planet that you can do each day, just by viewing an advert. You can also give the gift of trees as a winter gift to a friend or loved one. Something that will last for many years and is not made of plastic!

Something so easy to do that will make a positive impact. Have a tree planted each day for less than a minute of your time. Join me in planting trees for free on Treeapp: thetreeapp.org/referral?cod...
