Watch your forest grow and thrive.
Plant trees by browsing to reforest destroyed lands. No monocultures here. Every tree planted supports strong and biodiverse ecosystems.
Reduce your carbon footprint.
From CO2-heavy shipping, to plastic packaging and materials, what we buy has a climate footprint — let’s neutralize it by building a greener future.
Make a positive impact on our world.
Give back more to the planet than you take. A single tree absorbs around 1500lbs of C02 by it’s 40th birthday, and becomes a home to over 25,000 animals over it’s lifetime.
With the help of our community, we’re fighting climate change by rebuilding forests across the world.

As you browse, you’ll see how many trees you’ve planted grow. This way, you’re helping our planet just by surfing the web.
Regrowing forests is more than just ‘offsetting carbon’.
By planting trees, you’re making previously devastated land fertile again, so it’s able to support the lives of humans and animals alike.
Working with our partner, Eden Reforestation Projects, we start by hiring local people in villages to plant a variety of native trees, ensuring that a diverse ecosystem is built, and that the trees are protected.
When forests are damaged or destroyed, the surrounding villages are the first to feel the negative effects, often resulting in extreme poverty, lack of resources, and the environment degrading further.
Our tree-planting partners hire people in these affected areas to plant trees — giving them a consistent income so they can provide for their families while their natural environments recover.
The forests you grow will benefit people, their environment and their local economies — across the world. See our impact here.
All the amazing things reforestation does:
Provides homes and shelter for 1000’s of animal species.
Increases biodiversity and strengthens ecosystems.
Creates jobs to provide income for families in regions of poverty.
Revives destroyed and infertile lands.
Cleans our airways of carbon and toxic pollutants.
Improves water quality and rain cycles.

Typically, saving the planet requires a lot of big lifestyle changes (switching energy providers, checking if the product is sustainable and cruelty-free, and recycling).
OurForest basically makes saving the planet as effortless as possible.

This is the best idea ever! Who knew saving the planet could be this easy. It literally takes 1min to save the world, what are you waiting for?

It feels good to know that I am saving the planet while browsing online, it's like I'm planting trees for free while doing nothing.

Amazing app, why not help save the planet as we shop online!

I love this app! I've been doing a lot of my Christmas shopping online and it feels good to know that a tree is being planted while I do it!
I love that I can save the environment using my computer, super cool.

Every tree planted helps the environment, fights climate change, and literally changes the lives of people in devastated lands.
