When we talk about gaming for good, it's rare to see concrete results, but Treesplease is breaking that mold with their debut game, Longleaf Valley. They've just announced an incredible milestone: players have helped plant over two million real-world trees through their initiative! This achievement was made possible through their partnership with the Eden Reforestation Project, offsetting approximately 42,000 tonnes of CO2.
As we step into 2025, Treesplease isn't slowing down. They're launching a new Veganuary event inspired by the official Veganuary Cookbook. Whether you're fully committed to a vegan lifestyle, just exploring, or skeptical, you'll find new in-game content worth checking out. Plus, there's a chance to snag some adorable baby animal rewards as you engage with this new year's themed content.
It's been a stellar year for Treesplease. Their CEO and founder, Laura Carter, received the Global Gaming Citizen award at the 2024 Game Awards for her efforts in climate action. Additionally, Longleaf Valley was honored with the Best Purpose Driven Game at the Playing of the Planet Awards in 2024.
Treesplease's "Play it, Plant It" model seems to be a resounding success. It's clear that many in the gaming community appreciate the opportunity to contribute to a good cause while enjoying their favorite pastime. The significant impact made by Treesplease is a testament to the power of gaming for positive change.
