Grow your plants. Grow our planet.

Every PlantBetter subscription helps plant something bigger. We donate a portion of the revenue from every subscription to initiatives focused on planting trees and restoring and building forests.

15 billion

trees are cut down every year

~5 billion

trees are replanted every year

10.9 million

hectares of forest lost each year

46%

fewer trees than before human civilization

The gap between trees lost and trees replanted leaves a net loss of roughly 10 billion trees a year. There is progress too: the net loss of forest area has more than halved since the 1990s, from 10.7 million hectares a year to 4.12 million, and the world gained an average of 6.5 million hectares of tree cover a year between 2000 and 2020.
