I {heart} New York. I also {heart} trees.
There were 382 new customers who joined in November. Emma plants five trees for each new customer. If you just did the math in your head, and you came up with 1,910 trees, you’re right. And you’re pretty good at math.
Those trees are headed to New York State, thanks to the votes received last month on this blog. Our tree-planting partner, Plant-It 2020, will plant half of November’s trees in the Empire State; the other half will go in an equatorial region of Plant-It 2020′s choice.
When we started this tree-planting thing this year, we hoped to be able to plant 10,000 trees, and we’ve doubled that (20,015) and there’s still a month to go. Plant-It 2020 only lists 12 states where it plants trees, and only four have yet to be chosen by voters on this blog. One of them is getting December’s trees. Tell us where.

Emma Rocks. It’s awesome (and far too rare) that a company would above and beyond what is needed the way they do. I want to re-sign up just to get more trees planted ;-)
Thank you for the kind words, Peter, and welcome to Emma!
I would like to see South Dakota included in this list. We need more trees.
Thanks for the input, Tim. We choose our sites from Plant-It 2020′s list of approved sustainable, non-harvest forests. At this point, South Dakota isn’t on their list, but if it is, they’ll be on ours, too.
