Watch your counter grow each time you open a new tab page.

➤ How does it work?

We work with independent online sustainable businesses which we’ve hand picked to feature our platform. These businesses pay us to show an advertisement on your new tab page and we use the revenue to pay for trees, simple.

We’re partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects to plant your trees – they’re one of the world’s largest tree planting organizations who have planting projects all over the globe.

➤ Installation note:

When you first open a new tab after installing the extension you’ll be prompted to enable OurForest – hit enable! That will make it your default tab where you can search using Google or Ecosia and measure how you’re helping our precious planet. Your new tab will change back if you uninstall the extension.

➤ What can I do to plant more trees?

The OurForest extension is free, and always will be. We made this extension for people like you who actually give a F*&K about the planet, to do good in the simplest possible way.


However, this isn’t a fix all solution and there are ways you can do more:

🌿 Choose to shop at sustainable brands – we’ll plant even more trees for you if they’re brands from our database.
✍️ Write a review for us! We’ll plant a tree as way of saying thanks.
📣 Refer your friends to install the extension and we’ll plant 5 trees for both of you.

We also have OurForest premium – a monthly membership product doing even more for the planet than just planting trees. You can check that out here: https://ourforest.io

➤ Why should I care about reforestation?

Tree planting has the power to transform lives in so many ways. When we plant trees, we hire local communities and do the research to know what native ecosystems we should be restoring.

Most of our tree planting is focused in biodiversity hotspots around the world, which are often the most affected by poverty, poor regulation and as a result deforestation. This affects both the local people’s ability to farm and their protection against natural disasters, but also the habitats of endangered species.

Your trees help fight poverty, protect land, and instate rules and regulation that protect the local communities ran by the communities.

Our partner Eden Reforestation Projects takes meticulous measures to make sure the trees are not only planted in the places that need them most, but also nurtured and protected as they mature to maximize the impact they will have in the ecosystem.

➤ So what are you waiting for?

Install OurForest and start making a difference today.

Future you will be thankful. 💚 💚 💚
