Help plant a tree with every order
Bizcard has partnered with American Forests, the nation's oldest non-profit citizens' conservation organization, to protect, restore and enhance the natural capital of trees.
For every order, we will sponsor the planting of one tree in multiple Global Releaf ecosystem restoration projects across the United States and around the world. This will result in 100 trees planted for every 1 tree we use.
You also get the option to further assist our campaign by adding your own donation, in addition to ours, at the end of their order.
Please join us in our efforts to make a difference in tree and forest conservation. You can be part of the solution to preserve and restore the environment for generations to come.
Trees are the largest and oldest living organisms on the earth. They provide a good measure of our overall environment and health. Not only do they offer shelter and shade, but they also purify our air supply by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Tree roots stabilize the soil and prevent erosion and improve water quality by filtrating rain water. By killing one 70 year old tree, it would return over three tons of carbon into the atmosphere. That is a little more than the amount one acre of new trees removes per year.
