Datamax said it is proud to once again partner with the Arbor Day Foundation’s “Time for Trees” initiative to plant trees in damaged forests.
“Time for Trees” aims to plant 100 million trees and inspire 5 million tree planters by 2022, the 150th anniversary of Arbor Day. That would be enough trees to plant the equivalent of 3,500 Central Parks.
To date, Datamax has helped plant more than 7,200 trees in nationwide forests.
“As part of our DatamaxGreen Programme, we’re thrilled to continue to be involved with the Arbor Day Foundation and its ‘Time for Trees’ initiative,” Datamax Inc. Vice President of Marketing Robert Caldwell said. “Continuing to have high sensitivity to our environment is very important, and Datamax wants to do its part in efforts to replant trees and make a measurable difference.”
As of 1 January 2020, more than 66 million trees have been planted. These trees are helping communities recover from natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes, and they are replacing majestic trees lost to wildfires in forests across the country.
The Arbor Day Foundation says that 66 million trees will sequester enough carbon to equal taking more than 4.1 million cars off the road for an entire year. They will intercept and filter enough water to fill the water bottle of every person on Earth every day for nearly four years. And they will provide an estimated $500 million (€446 million) in human health benefits.
Along with other partners across the globe, the Arbor Day Foundation is working to improve the quality of life around the world through the simplest, most affordable, and most effective solution – planting trees – which will pave way for the health and well-being of people in this generation and future generations to come.
