Plant a Tree for Free and help the Enviornment

What are we doing to help?

We plant a tree every time you order!!!

SmarterLight is committed to leading our industry on responsible environmental stewardship. Climate change and environmental degradation are among the biggest world issues in this century. While most agree that we must do something, the challenges can often appear to be too great and too complicated for any one of us to feel like we're making a difference....but we can make a difference.

SmarterLight.com, has launched our "Plant a Tree for Free" program, as part of our lighting up a greener world initiative. Our idea is to help offset the carbon emissions associated with powering light bulbs - simply by planting trees. Our goal is to help our customers "go zero" easily, inexpensively and responsibly. It is calculated that the average American family needs to plant 30 trees to offset the CO2 produced by their daily energy use... That's a lot of trees! Our program is designed to help you tackle this number with absolutely no effort on your part. By helping you plant your trees now, we can start making a difference today! So, what is

The Plan?

We believe so strongly in combating climate change that SmarterLight is planting one tree for every light bulb that is purchased from us. Yep, that's right... For each bulb that you buy, we'll plant one tree for you. So, the more bulbs you buy, the more trees get planted, the more energy you save and the happier the environment becomes! Everyone wins. You've gotta love that!

Here are some reasons why we're putting our money where our mouth is and stepping out with this great program:

1. We feel that planting trees is the easiest, most effective way to help each of us clean our air and sequester carbon through tree planting.

2. By supporting reforestation projects around the world that reduce CO2 emissions in the atmosphere we can make a real difference.

3. Reforestation is a form of carbon sequestration (sequestration is the capture and removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere). Forests capture CO2 and store it in the trees mass and in the soil. Reforestation projects play a vital role in absorbing emissions, managing watershed, maintain wildlife habitats and providing time to transition to a new energy future.

4. Planting trees in the right places for the right reasons is the best dollar-for-dollar investment we can make to improve our environment.

So you might ask, where are we going to plant these wonderful trees? In addition to providing assistance to third world countries, we plan to help repair hurricane, flood and fire damaged areas around the world. Being in San Diego California we have seen firsthand the devastating impact of our recent catastrophic wildfires. As the size, frequency and intensity of these wildfires increases, we are faced with a more urgent need to rehabilitate damaged areas to prevent further degradation of forest ecosystems. Drought conditions in many states, including California, and the effects of decades of fire suppression have given rise to hundreds of fires in the United States, and they seem to be on the rise. Furthermore, we are supporting efforts to reclaim abandoned strip mines or farms - prevent erosion into salmon streams - fight back invasive species of trees - and make cooler, cleaner cities.

We hope you agree that since trees reduce greenhouse gases by absorbing carbon dioxide, save energy, help filter our water, and so much more this project is simply worth doing! This is why we're so excited to make this program easy for you... all you need to do is buy our energy efficient, environmentally conscious light bulbs for your home and business and we'll take care of the rest!
