WhereiPark Partners with Reforestation Non-Profit, One Tree Planted
Ruth Goodwin
WhereiPark cares deeply about the planet and creating a business that gives back to nature. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we’re partnering with One Tree Planted!
One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) non-profit on a mission to make it simple for anyone to help the environment. Their projects span across the globe and partner with local communities and experts to create a positive impact for nature, people, and wildlife.
This partnership is designed to support the cause and make it easy for WhereiPark customers to get involved in global reforestation. For EVERY parking space booked via WhereiPark, we’ll give to One Tree Planted so they can plant one tree. The trees are planted by local partner organizations and community volunteers in areas where there has been deforestation.
What are the Objectives of the Partnership?
Through this partnership, WhereiPark hopes to:
Support global reforestation efforts
Empower consumers with sustainable actions
Raise awareness about the importance of ecosystem restoration
Create social impact by providing jobs
Why Plant Trees?
Across 10 of the largest US cities, INRIX Research found that, on average, drivers who opt for street or hourly parking (as opposed to monthly parking) spend 64 hours per year looking for parking at a cost of $1,338.90 per driver in wasted time, fuel, and emissions. Not only is this a strain on the pockets of drivers but the negative externalities it has on the environment are tremendous.
Planting trees is one of the best ways to make a positive impact on the environment and communities. Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. Trees also provide tremendous social impact by providing jobs to over 1.6 billion people, empowering women in underdeveloped nations, and supporting communities devastated by environmental damage.
We hope that by planting trees we are able to make a positive impact on the environment, reduce our ecological footprint, and make a social impact
Founders’ Note
“Sustainability is a very important piece to our business, and while we do make an impact by promoting the usage of cars, we know that this will be one of many great ways to give back to help the environment,” said WhereiPark co-founder, Jeremy Zuker. “We’re very excited about this partnership and as our company grows, we hope that our positive impact on the environment continues to grow as well,” said co-founder, Alex Enchin.
