With 18 million acres of forest lost each year, the devastation of deforestation can no longer be ignored. At ForestNation, we can’t bear to imagine a world without trees, so we decided to do something about it. We believe our survival on Mother Earth depends on positive human action. Imagine a world where everyone grows their own trees. What led your company to enter the promotional products market? We want to encourage everyone to grow their own trees at home, at school and at work. We’ve developed the ForestNation tree-growing kits to make it easy and interactive for people everywhere to get involved. We also plant another tree in a developing country for each one we sell—you plant one, we plant one. The idea is to make growing your own tree something we should all do, and to offer companies and organizations tangible benefits, too. The promotional products market offers the biggest opportunity for us to bring more trees to life. We’ve shipped more than 300,000 branded trees for people to grow and planted over a million trees to reforest our planet. And we’re just getting started! What’s your favorite thing about being in the promotional products industry? We love how the industry is so welcoming and full of ideas. Everyone we work with, from distributors to our amazing reps, is so keen to give back and make an impact with us. Why did you join PPAI? We joined PPAI because of the community. We admire how PPAI cares about social responsibility. We plan to get involved a lot more through education and volunteering opportunities.
