Bigwave Marketing has come up with a new print initiative that provides our team and clients with the opportunity to help the environment. Bigwave is a full-service creative marketing agency with a mission to make a difference and deliver growth. The initiative is called Printing Trees and will launch in April 2022, and Bigwave hopes to make a positive impact around the globe.
The Printing Trees project ensures that for every £50 a client spends on Bigwave’s print marketing services, we plant a tree.
We’re partnered with the Billion Trees Project, who will be managing the tree planting process for the initiative. Their mission is to plant one billion trees across the world. They also help businesses go green and attract new customers by showing them how they can make a difference. Our mission very much aligns with the Billion Trees Project, which is why we have partnered with them to help reverse the effects of climate change and contribute to a healthier world.
Bigwave is also proudly partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects, a charity that works with local communities to restore forests on a large scale, and One Tree Planted, a non-profit organisation that focuses on global reforestation.
It’s critical to reserve trees across the globe; they provide us with oxygen, help store carbon, stabilise soil, provide a healthy habitat for over 80 per cent of the world’s terrestrial diversity, and help combat climate change. Deforestation is a global crisis, and it’s important to ensure trees still thrive in all locations, such as city and urban locations, rainforests, and woodlands.
Just some of the other benefits of trees include:
- They benefit our health and wellbeing, acting as a filter for dust and absorbent for pollutants. Trees also reduce noise and provide shade from solar radiation.
- Trees benefit the environment and combat climate change. The carbon they store inside their wood slows down the rate of global warming.
- They provide a healthy habitat for birds, insects, lichens, and fungi. Mature oak trees are known to be home to over 500 different species.
- Trees provide us with oxygen. For every family of four, oxygen is provided by a single tree.
- One acre of trees removes up to 5 tonnes of carbon dioxide and 13 tonnes of other gases and particles every year.
- Save energy consumption when carefully positioned. If 50 million trees are carefully planted in the shade, they could eliminate the need for power plants.
We would struggle to survive without trees, so Bigwave Marketing is passionate about planting as many trees as possible and about spreading awareness of the importance of reversing the effects of climate change.
