Planting trees is a good thing. And it’s even better when it’s free! Simply choose one of these excellent ways to plant trees for free and pat yourself on the back for having done a good deed. Then go ahead and share this article with your family and friends, so they can plant free trees as well.
Why You Should Plant Trees For Free
Trees are masters of many trades. They combat climate change, turn CO2 into vital O2 and offer habitat and food for exotic wildlife species. In addition, planting trees creates jobs for local communities in need. So yes, you are a hero when planting trees. Good work, you!
The beauty about planting trees for free is that you don’t have to do it yourself, nor invest any of your hard-earned cash for paying someone to do it for you.
Go ahead and give a shot – you have absolutely nothing to lose.
Ecosia: The Search Engine That Plants Trees
Ecosia is the easiest way to plant trees for free. If you are an internet user and use search engines at times, make sure this search engine is Ecosia. Ecosia is free to use, and also offers an excellent app for smartphones.
The clue: Ecosia invests most of their ad-generated profits into planting trees. You don’t have to do anything at all. (Checking out the sponsored ads in the search results at times might help, though.)
On average, every 40-50 searches pay for one tree.
In case that’s not enough for you, check out the brand-new Ecosia online shop. Not only are all shirts, jumpers and hoodies produced fairly and organically, but Ecosia also spends 100% of all profits to plant trees. That means each t-shirt you buy plants 20 trees!
If you want to learn more about Ecosia, including the reason why they make you smarter and their one disadvantage, find it here: Ecosia Review. The Search Engine That Makes You Smarter.
B’n’Tree: You Book A Bed, We Plant A Tree. For Free.
B’n’Tree is a very close second amongst the easiest ways to plant free trees, different from Ecosia only as it’ll take you one extra click of your mouse to plant a tree.
B’n’Tree has partnered with various hotel booking platforms such as booking.com and Agoda. Whenever you place a booking with these platforms, after having entered via B’n’Tree’s website, B’n’Tree receives a small commission for referring you as a client. This commission is then turned into planting trees.
If you save bedandtree.com in your bookmarks, your hotel bookings take literally one click extra to plant a tree: Click on B’n’Tree in your bookmarks, click on the logo of your preferred hotel booking platform, and place your booking as you always would. That’s it.
Every paid booking plants a least one tree, often more.
While you’re away, why not share some green best practices for hotels with the place you’re staying at?

Thanks Lindsey, that’s a wonderful addition! I didn’t know about this, but downloaded it right away. Have now planted 6 trees while surfing in a few hours…
I only wish Johnny Walker would make it more transparent where those trees are planted, or show some images of its actions or similar… maybe that is to come soon?
Thank you!
Cheers, Chris
