Origins on-going Plant-A-Tree campaign was created as an alliance with Global ReLeaf, American Forests’ education and action program that helps individuals, organizations, agencies, and corporations improve the local and global environment by planting and caring for trees. Since 1990, Global ReLeaf planted 25 million trees in more than 500 projects across the United States and internationally. Our goal is to help plant millions of trees in new Global ReLeaf projects across the country and the globe.
By planting trees around the world, we help restore areas damaged by wildfire, where critical wildlife habitat has been lost, and help clean our air and water.

Trees are on the job 24 hours every day working for all of us to improve our environment and quality of life:
- 1 tree annually produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen to help us breathe better.
- Trees help offset greenhouse gases from our cars and homes.
- Trees can increase property value by up to 20%.
- Trees keep our water clean and safe.
- In a year, forty trees will remove 80 pounds of air pollutants to reduce smog and air pollution.
- Trees can make a home 20 degrees cooler, saving an average of $175 a year in air conditioning costs.
- One young, healthy tree is equivalent to ten room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day.
- Trees are home, shelter and nourishment for animals.
- Trees improve our quality of life.
- Four million trees will save $20 million in air pollution clean up.
