New Energy Equity Announces Tree Planting Partnership

Turning Solar Into Saplings!

We're extremely excited to announce our partnership with American Forests to plant one tree for each kilowatt of solar we install in 2020 and beyond!

Climate change can't be solved without fully using the power of forests to help capture and store carbon dioxide emissions generated by human activity. More than 14 percent of U.S. carbon emissions each year are absorbed by our forests, and there is potential to grow this natural carbon sink by restoring our forests and planting more trees.

American Forests is the oldest national conservation organization in the country. They have been working to restore threatened forest ecosystems and inspire people to value and protect urban and wildland forests for over 140 years.

Expanding the tree canopy of our nation's forests will improve the quality of life for residents and make our communities more sustainable, beautiful and livable. We're honored to be working with a great organization like American Forests to help make this happen!
