Thanks for helping us plant more trees

Saving (and planting) trees through email

Last month, in honor of Earth Day, we sat down to dream up a plan worthy of our leafy green friends. We wanted to plant 100 extra trees — in addition to the five we already plant for each new customer — and we asked for your help.

We created a snazzy infographic to represent the value of one tree, and we asked you to share it with your networks on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. If you shared 100 times, we’d plant 100 trees. And, boy, did you deliver.

Without further ado, here’s the breakdown by-the-numbers:

• 142 people shared our April Roundup on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
• 36 people forwarded the roundup to their friends.
• More than 90 people tweeted and re-tweeted the infographic on Twitter.

If you’re doing the math, that’s about 270 shares — simply crushing the goal. Here’s just a small sample of the tweets:

Thanks so much for your tree-lovin’ enthusiasm, and we’re happy to report that our partners at Plant-It 2020 will be planting 100 additional trees in the world this spring.

We’d love to hear how you’re making the world a greener place. Tell us over on Twitter or in the comments below.
