Another month, another forest.
April 2nd, 2008 by Suzanne NormanThe world is getting a little leafier, thanks to the new customers who’ve joined Emma since December of 2007. Over the past four months, we’ve planted 6,130 trees - one for each new client who has chosen Emma to power their (paper-free) email newsletters - in the states of Oregon, Georgia, California and Tennessee.
Our partner in all this planting, Plant-It 2020, has suggested that we devote a portion of each month’s trees to an equatorial region that they expertly select. Why? Trees planted there grow more quickly, what with all the sunshine and moisture, and as a result produce more greenhouse-gas-fighting goodness. Where the other half goes, as always, is up to you.
Where should we plant trees in April?
- New York (36%, 9 Votes)

Total Voters: 25
Oh, and the 1,790 trees that our March customers helped us plant will be finding a home in Tennessee soon. Thanks for voting!

Ha, thanks for your comment. Yes, email is certainly a great alternative to using paper. Now if we can just figure out how to ask people to stop faxing us.
Cheers.
