"Sustainability made simple" is a principle that is exemplified in the story of our organization. In the very beginning of 2014, One Tree Planted was born out of the realization that reforestation was something that almost everyone cared about, but few felt they could get involved with. Matt Hill, founder and Chief Environmental Evangelist, had previously worked for sustainability-focused organizations, but never felt like enough was being done. Even as environmental health became a widespread priority, many felt powerless to make a real positive change. Organizations with pure motives focused on giving back to our Earth for no gain of their own were being pushed into the background. These activists couldn’t make the difference they wanted to because they had no voice. One Tree Planted was created to be that voice.
