WE PLANT TREES
Our commitment as a company is not only with our clients and our employees.
We are committed to making the world a better place for everyone.
“The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own . . .”
—Epictetus, Discourses, 2.5.4–5
Stoic Media has decided to take matters into its own hands to make a difference for future generations. Through our partnership with EverTreen we are committing to planting 5,000 (five thousand) trees per year. The estimated total CO2 offsetting power is expected to be on average 750,000 KGs.
The project aims at protecting and restoring forests on a massive scale by involving local farmers and creating livelihoods for people living in extreme poverty by offering them the dignity of employment and the possibility to become transformational agents of global forest restoration.
The plantation includes Dry Deciduous trees, Agroforestery trees, Forestry trees, Terrestrial trees, Afromontane trees, Mangroves, Pines. The funds will be equally split among the following countries hosting projects financed by Evertreen: Madagascar, Nepal, Kenya, Mozambique, Haiti, Indonesia, Honduras.
