Treesplease's Longleaf Valley initiative has achieved a remarkable milestone: players have collectively planted over two million trees in the real world! This success, in partnership with the Eden Reforestation Project, offsets an estimated 42,000 tonnes of CO2.
To celebrate, Treesplease is launching a Veganuary in-game event inspired by the official Veganuary Cookbook. New content and adorable baby animal rewards await players, regardless of their dietary choices.
This year has been exceptionally successful for Treesplease. CEO and founder Laura Carter received a Global Gaming Citizen award at the 2024 Game Awards for her climate action work, and Longleaf Valley won Best Purpose Driven Game at the 2024 Playing of the Planet Awards.
The "Play it, Plant It" model appears to be a significant success, demonstrating the appeal of combining gaming with positive social impact. Treesplease's contribution is substantial, highlighting the potential for the gaming community to contribute to meaningful causes.
