The Trees Project aims to raise awareness about deforestation and its impact on the planet through a collaborative online platform. It allows users to donate trees, select planting locations, and see the results of their contributions, addressing the urgent need to counteract CO2 pollution and species extinction. The initiative uses technology and design to encourage participation and promote environmental stewardship.

“A society grows great when old men
plant trees whose shade they know
they shall never sit in.”

good

The idea is to increase awareness about the deforestation and
the effects it has on our globe. We’ll be doing a WebGL
experience using Three.js and make a visual platform that
highlights how the world is changing this very moment.
Visualising the dramatic changes...

But why trees?
Deforestation is one of the biggest threats to the
survival of our planet. Cutting down/burning trees
accounts for 10% of our current CO2 pollution into the
atmosphere.
Trees help us bring down the CO2 level.
Another drastic consequence of deforestation is
that 50.000 plant, animal, and insect species go
extinct every year!

The platform will allow people to donate a tree
and choose where in the word their tree should
be planted. Donors will be a part of a bigger
cause and as “owners” of a single tree.
Similar to kickstarter we will have a pledge goal
that needs to be met before the trees are
planted.
Put more simply:
— Donate a tree
— Choose where it should be planted
— Share the message to grow the forest
How does it work?
DONATE!
