ONE TREE PLANTED
1 order = 1 tree
For every order on our website, we will plant 1 tree in Indonesia, an area of the world that’s very dear to the Waxx Family! We are partnering with One Tree Planted to help and rebuild a forest there.
Why trees?
Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink and provide habitats to over 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity.
Forests provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people, absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere, and are key ingredients in 25% of all medicines.
Why Indonesia?
Indonesia is made up of over 17,000 islands, including Borneo and Sumatra, the third and sixth largest islands in the world. Extensive mangroves, carbon-rich peat swamps and the third-largest reserves of rainforests left on Earth are all found across this sprawling archipelago. Recognized globally for its exceptional biodiversity, many rare and unique wildlife such as Sumatran tigers, elephants, orang-utans and over 1,700 species of birds are found here. Your donation will help to restore ecosystems in this biodiversity hotspot that has experienced profound degradation caused by rampant deforestation for palm oil plantations, damaging peat fires, and extensive logging.
