Warranty Solutions and the Arbor Day Foundation Celebrate the Planting of More Than 1.7 Million Trees
LAKEWOOD, Colo., July 18, 2017 /3BL Media/ – Warranty Solutions through its partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation is pleased to announce that together we have planted more than 1.7 million trees in our nations forests. The partnership between the two entities began in 2009 to help improve air quality, water quality, mitigate the effects of climate change, combat deforestation and prevent species loss. To-date, the number of trees planted would offset the emissions of approximately 5,856 cars for one year.
In 2009, Warranty Solutions launched the eco-friendly EcoMind product option, providing additional mechanical breakdown coverage for the parts that help vehicles run more efficiently, burn fuel more cleanly and reduce overall emission output. Throughout the last nine years of Warranty Solutions’ partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, on average, 25 trees were planted for each EcoMind product option purchased.
Agent Partner, Cary Berman, said “Most of our customers are parents and they purchase the EcoMind product option for the benefit of future generations. EcoMind helps to keep the vehicle running clean, and at the same time, we work with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant trees.”
Plantings have occurred in 18 forests nation-wide including: Big Thompson Canyon, CO, Washington Department of Natural Resources NW Region, WA, Washington Klickitat District, WA, Tillamook State Forest, OR, Idaho National Forest, ID, Modoc National Forest, CA, Plumas National Forest, CA, Pike National Forest, CO, Black Forest, CO, Upper Altamaha River Watershed, GA, Bayfield County Forrest, WI, Pere Marquette State Forest, MI, Michigan State Forest, MI, Manchester State Forest, SC, Little River State Forest, AL, Cary State Forest, FL, Bastrop State Park, TX and the Mississippi Alluvial Valley, MS.
