GreenPhone is proud to offer a unique tree planting program that makes our entire cell phone recycling program “Restorative”. For every phone purchased by GreenPhone, we will plant a tree through a series of innovative tree planting partnerships. Trees will be planted in Africa, Central and South America, and in wildfire damaged areas within US National Parks. GreenPhone has selected the following partners to implement this program:

American Forests:
For every dollar donated, American Forests will plant a minimum of one tree in a Wildfire ReLeaf ecosystem restoration project. What is Wildfire ReLeaf?

Wildfire ReLeaf is a national campaign by American Forests, the nation's oldest nonprofit conservation organization and a world leader in planting trees for environmental restoration, and the USDA Forest Service, which manages 192 million acres of public lands and is a leader in wildland fire restoration, science, research, and suppression activities.

Sustainable Harvest:
Central America has lost more than half of its tropical forest cover since 1947. Agricultural expansion has already turned much of the once lush rainforest of Central America into desert. While rainforest destruction has received much media attention, coverage generally focuses on the global consequences instead of the local devastation.

Sustainable Harvest International works with Central American farmers to break this vicious cycle. Without the introduction of sustainable technologies, forests will continue to disappear and more of Central America will become degraded. Fortunately, however, low cost feasible alternatives to shifting cultivation exist, and farmers are desperate to learn them. With Sustainable Harvest International, participants learn to turn the tide of tropical forest destruction and poverty that has plagued Central America for so long.
