TikTokers Plant 10,000 Trees by Sharing Their Best Eco Hacks

There is something for everyone on TikTok, even you nature-loving tree huggers! During Earth Month, we teamed up with TikTok to challenge all of you to share your best eco-friendly hacks for sustainable living. We promised to plant a tree for every video posted that used #EcoHacks. Well the results were INCREDIBLE and we are thrilled to announce that we will be planting 10,000 trees on behalf of this amazing TikTok community! 


Here's All Hackin' the Details!

The aim of the campaign was quite simple. Show us your #EcoHacks and we will plant a tree! Whether you are a beginner at sustainability with your reusable straw or you've mastered the art of composting, we wanted to see it! TikTokers found creative ways to show off their hacks. Some gave us tutorials on their favorite zero-waste tricks and others showed off their up-cycling skills. And while most TikTok challenges are super fun, we want to kick things up a notch so...

We Made an Original Song!

Thanks to our awesome tree-loving community we were able to collaborate with a top-notch music producer to take this #EcoHacks vision to the next level! The song elevated these eco hacks with this amazing earth rap about all the benefits to a green way of living! For those music driven TikTokers, this song was a perfect place to start to find a way to support the planet.

What Impact Will These Trees Have?

Glad you asked! The trees from this campaign will be allocated to our amazing reforestation project in Chippewa National Park in Minnesota! Chippewa National Forest spans more than 600,000 acres, home to some of the state's last old-growth forests. Notably, the Chippewa National Forest has one of the highest densities of bald eagle nesting sites in the country, with more than 150 pairs nesting in the forest annually. In addition to preserving wildlife habitat, this project will also focus on restoration from wind damage, tree diseases, and insect damage that have left the forest vulnerable. Reforestation can keep the Chippewa National Forest healthy for generations to come, and preserve the culture of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwa, who have a deep connection with the forest.

Plant Trees Where They're Needed Most

The interconnectedness of ecosystems and their living organisms means that millions of species depend on each other for survival. Reforestation is a vital strategy for restoring biodiversity habitat. Learn more

With your help, we will:

  • Protect endangered species by increasing forest cover
  • Restore holistic ecosystems for a range of flora and fauna
  • Improve soil stability by restoring degraded areas
  • Everything on Earth is connected. As we lose habitat, we also lose biodiversity. This is where trees come in: reforestation helps to restore at-risk ecosystems and habitats, ultimately increasing food supply, health, and overall well-being. Your donation will help to restore forest cover around the world. Reforesting these areas will aid in the protection of endangered species, restoration of holistic ecosystems, and the improvement of soil stability.
  • By planting trees, we help create a safe haven for biodiversity, impacting all of life on Earth. The restoration of degraded ecosystems will also result in improved soil stability, ultimately improving forest cover as a whole!
  • personalized tree certificate (see gallery) to say thanks for your donation. We'll also send you reports about our Biodiversity projects, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the ground!
  • Every tree we plant will have an impact on the surrounding ecosystem, and must be selected with great care. We work with our planting partners to ensure the species we select will provide the intended benefits for wildlife and communities.
