About
Our goal at Treets is to make a positive impact on the environment.
Many companies are adopting a "one product for one tree" incentive. We have flipped that model to donate the majority of profit back to the environment.
We're removing 22,080 lbs of CO2 per year with 460 trees planted so far.
Cost of a shirt, broken down:
| Cost (USD) | $25.50 |
| Manufacturing costs (Teemill) | -$20.21 |
| Donated to OneTreePlanted 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲 | -$5.00 |
| Net gain | $0.29 |
That’s right, we generate less than one US dollar for ourselves per shirt. Treets primary operational revenue is from donations.
Reducing manufacturing costs is our next mission, which will directly begin raising the donation amount per shirt, (more good things).
Carbon impact of a shirt, broken down:
| Approx. CO2 | |
| Material and production | + 0.09 lbs |
| Packaging | + 0.02 lbs |
| Global shipping | + 0.12 lbs |
| 5 trees planted | - 240 lbs/yr |
| Net carbon impact | - 240 lbs/yr |
According to recent research, planting trees is one of the best ways we can reduce greenhouse gases.
