Plant a Tree with Every Order to Make a Difference
Become a part of our commitment to sustainability by planting a tree with every purchase, helping to create a healthier, greener planet for future generations.
With the rapid increase in greenhouse gas emissions over the last century, the need forenduring carbon sinks has grown. The latest models suggest that to remain within“acceptable” global temperature increase, it is no longer enough to simply reduceemissions, and protect existing forests, but rather that we need to rapidly increase theability to sequester carbon. Globally, mangrove systems are estimated to hold an astounding 20 petagrams of carbon. For a biome representing less than 5% of the world’s terrestrial area, this makes mangroves one of the most important carbon stocks, even more than many rainforests like the Amazon. Equally, as a relatively fast-growing group of species, mangroves sequester carbon at a very fast rate.
As forests are destroyed, wildlife species lose their natural habitat, forcing them to relocate, limiting their ability to survive. Madagascar is one of the world’s greatest conservation priorities, with over 200 species of mammals, 100 species of lemurs, 300 species of birds, and almost 300 species of amphibians. Around ninety percent of all wildlife in Madagascar is endemic. Our work with Eden protects these wildlife species in Madagascar by restoring their natural habitats.

Eden Reforestation.
At Oasis Slate & Stone we believe we can make a difference that why we are working with Sprout who have teamed up with The GoodAPI and Eden Reforestation Projects to plant a tree for every product our customers purchase.
Sprout have teamed up with Eden Reforestation Projects to support the wildlife diversity, as well as improving coastlines and growing Mangrove trees.
Mangroves are unique ecosystems found throughout a wide range in the tropics and occupying the intertidal areas of more than 120 countries. Mangroves, and coastal wetlands in general, are globally important for the many services they provide to humans and the planet. These services include protection against storm surges, sheltering nurseries for fish and other marine life, providing building materials, firewood, and providing critically important services to stabilizing the global climate as an important store of carbon.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the main goal of The Good API's projects?
Our primary goal is to support environmental sustainability by planting a tree with every order, contributing to reforestation efforts and helping to combat climate change.
2. How does planting a tree with my order make a difference?
When you place an order, a tree is planted on your behalf, helping to restore ecosystems, improve air quality, and create a healthier planet for future generations.
3. Where are the trees planted, and how are the locations chosen?
While not mandatory, edging is recommended to contain the gravel and prevent spreading, preserving the structure and appearance.
4. How can I track the impact of my contribution?
We provide updates and stories about the projects and locations where your trees are planted, so you can see the real-world impact of your support.
5. Can I choose what type of tree is planted?
Currently, we plant trees based on the most suitable species for each location to maximize ecological benefits. However, we are exploring ways to offer more customization options in the future.
