Give Trees a Chance.
Here at Emma, we’re big fans of trees. From the noblest Redwood to the teeniest Dwarf Willow, we love them all, and we suspect that you, dear reader, do too. With that in mind, we recently forged an exciting partnership with Plant-It 2020 to give our Emma community an easy way to participate in non-harvest reforestation efforts across the globe. The idea is simple – for every new account we open, we’ll plant five trees with the help of Plant-It 2020. Already in the first month of the initiative, we’ve donated the money to plant nearly 1,000 trees in the lovely state of Oregon. And with nearly 300 fabulous organizations joining us each month, we hope to donate more than 15,000 trees this year.
Founded by John Denver in 1992, Plant-It 2020 plants an indigenous tree for every dollar they receive. Their savvy approach to reforestation ensures that the trees they plant will live a long and happy life. They’ll be nurtured in their natural environment with ample light and water, and they will never be harvested. Perhaps they are also lulled to sleep at night by “Rocky Mountain High.” Okay, we can’t guarantee the lullaby, but it’s a nice thought. If you’re curious to learn more about Plant-It 2020, visit their website and subscribe to their email newsletter (powered by Emma, of course).
As we grow as a company, we look forward to forging more partnerships with cool companies dedicated to positive change. We invite you to be directly involved in making our world a more sustainable place. So, go forth and plant some trees, do-gooders! We salute you.

It’s a great thing when companies demonstrate a commitment to the community and environment.
Bravo, Emma!
[...] Awesome things are happening at Emma. We’ve just started a campaign with Plant-It-2020 to get the earth more green. When you open a new account at Emma we’ll plant five trees. How cool is that?
