Z Game are delighted to announce our first official business partnership.
Moving forward and over what we hope will be many years, we will be working closely with Trees For The Future, as the organisation who will plant a tree for every single product you, our awesome community, buys!
Sadly, we currently lose trees at a rate of 50 football fields per minute as our food systems destroy our ecosystems. Most of this degradation occurs in the developing tropics of Africa, Latin America, and South and Southeast Asia where hundreds of millions of chronically-hungry, smallholder farming families unknowingly use destructive and short-sighted agricultural practices that further degrade their communities trees, soil, water and biodiversity, making them even more likely to migrate and more vulnerable to the climate changes that lie ahead. It becomes a cycle.
Thankfully Trees for the Future have a solution; The Forest Garden Program.
This is a simple, replicable and scalable approach with proven success, which starts with trees. Through their 4-year training program, called the Forest Garden Approach, farmers plant thousands of trees that protect and bring nutrients back to the soil. This helps farmers grow a variety of fruits and vegetables. Forest Garden farmers gain increases in income and access to food, even in the first year, all while improving the environment.
At Z Game we’re very conscious of our impact on the planet – it’s why we use less packaging than our competitors and it’s also why we plant a tree for every single item our awesome community purchase.
We’ve chosen to work with Trees For The Future as they offer so much more than just planting trees and offsetting carbon!
As above, they help farmers grow themselves out of hunger and poverty. In fact, their mission is ‘to end hunger and poverty by training farmers to regenerate their land.’
Much like our own mission of ‘delivering better for people and the planet’, this makes Trees for the Future our perfect partner!
Well, we say partner, but we actually need to earn official partner status with Trees For The Future, and that means planting at least 4,000 trees. With your help, we will achieve this as quickly as possible and make a hugely positive difference to both people and the planet.
So the next time you add any Z Game product to your cart, you can do so safe in the knowledge you’ve helped both people and the planet along the way!
