Planting some trees, without all the dirt.

We're planting 5 trees for each new customer

Here’s your chance to do some good without doing too much. Every month, we’re planting 5 trees for every new customer that signs on with Emma, and it’s up to you to tell us where they should go. In January, Emma customers voted to plant 1,715 trees in California. Where February’s trees go is your choice, dear blog reader. Cast your vote!

Where should July's trees be planted?

  • Ohio (34%, 12 Votes)

  • Oregon (20%, 7 Votes)
  • Rhode Island (17%, 6 Votes)

Speaking of lazy environmentalism, we met the self-proclaimed Lazy Environmentalist Josh Dorfman at the Opportunity Green Conference last year (which we proudly helped to sponsor). His pitch is that you can add some green to your lifestyle with no mess and no sacrifice. He focuses on the little things, like telling you about the company that’ll fix that old, broken second generation iPod, so it stays out of the landfill. Or letting you know how to reduce the junk mail you get. The tips from his blog and radio show are designed to help you learn how to live green without disrupting the way you live, and we really like what he’s up to.

    stupid question: what kind of trees are they? These states are very different climates.

    Hey Christian, that’s actually a very good question. We’ve partnered with Plant-It 2020 for our tree planting efforts, and they actually plant trees that are indigenous to the location selected. If you like, you can read their complete reforestation FAQ online here.

    It should definitely be Colorado ? it’s desolate out there. After all, Denver is actually a desert. Who better than to get some trees ;)
