As we celebrate Earth Month this April, Humble is excited to spotlight our featured charity, One Tree Planted, a nonprofit dedicated to global reforestation. With climate change and deforestation posing alarming threats to our planet, supporting organizations like One Tree Planted is more crucial than ever.
One Tree Planted has made remarkable strides in environmental conservation since its founding in 2014. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to make it easy for anyone to help the environment by planting trees. They operate on a straightforward principle: every dollar donated helps plant a tree.
The importance of trees cannot be overstated. They play a vital role in:
- Absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, helping to mitigate climate change
- Preventing soil erosion and improving soil quality
- Providing habitats for diverse wildlife
- Conserving water and improving water quality
- Regulating local climates
- Offering economic benefits through sustainable forestry and tourism
One Tree Planted’s efforts span six pillars of impact: air, water, biodiversity, social impact, health, and climate. By focusing on these areas, they ensure that their reforestation projects create a holistic positive change for both the environment and local communities.

Our Partnership Impact
Since our partnership with One Tree Planted began in 2021, the Humble community has been instrumental in supporting this vital cause. To see a visual representation of the Humble community’s contributions over the past four years, visit One Tree Planted’s Humble microsite.
We’re approaching an impressive milestone of 1.5 million trees planted across multiple continents. Our collaboration continues to spotlight and lean in on the transformative power of reforestation, targeting regions facing critical environmental challenges such as erosion, wildfire recovery, and ecosystem restoration.
This strategic approach to tree planting goes beyond simply adding greenery—it’s about rebuilding complex ecological systems that support wildlife, stabilize landscapes, and sequester carbon. Reforestation serves as a powerful catalyst for global change, addressing pressing issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation.
