Auto Express Partnering with 8 Billion Trees
Our Environmental Commitment
As one of the 'Top 50 Independent Auto Retailers in the USA,' we are committed to making a positive impact on the environment. Our efforts extend beyond recognition, setting a benchmark for how businesses can actively contribute to the planet's health.
Partnering with 8 Billion Trees
Our collaboration with 8 Billion Trees is central to our dedication to environmental stewardship. With every vehicle sold, we pledge to support the earth by planting one tree and saving two trees in areas threatened by deforestation. This partnership transforms each purchase into a commitment to sustainability. More details about our collaboration can be found on the 8 Billion Trees business partners page.
Impact and Recognition
Our commitment has positioned us as a top contributor on the 8 Billion Trees website. Since 2019, we have planted over 7,285 trees and conserved 14,570 trees, focusing our efforts on crucial ecosystems like the Amazon Rainforest. These actions highlight our dedication to reducing carbon emissions and promoting biodiversity.
A Vision for the Future
Our goal is clear: “We want to do our part in ensuring a livable future for future generations.” – Auto Express. Through sustainable practices and meaningful partnerships, we are not just in the business of selling cars; we are investing in a more sustainable and greener future for everyone.
Our Mission to Heal the Planet and Conserve Wildlife
Tree Planting to Rebuild Habitats with Carbon Offsets and Carbon Footprint Calculators
8 Billion Trees was founded on a simple yet powerful idea: if people can harm the Earth, they can also heal it.
At its core, 8 Billion Trees conducts extensive tree planting and conservation initiatives to drive positive environmental change, protect habitats, and care for displaced wildlife through sanctuaries and veterinary clinics in deforested areas.
Trees also play a crucial role as carbon offsets. 8 Billion Trees offers a free carbon footprint calculator to help individuals, families, and companies understand their environmental impact.
Inspired by activist groups, founder Jon Chambers saw an opportunity to create a greater impact: plant and save 8 billion trees. Driven by a passion for environmental causes, 8 Billion Trees was established on November 10th, 2018.
Our Vision and Commitment
At 8 Billion Trees, our ambition is to become the most environmentally conscious social enterprise on the planet. We aim not just to mitigate the negative impacts of habitat destruction and deforestation but to redefine what it means to be environmentally responsible. By transforming our environment and raising awareness, we strive to create global change.
We are fully committed to sustainability and eco-friendly practices in the creation, packaging, handling, and shipping of our products. Beyond tree planting, we ensure that every eco-friendly product from 8 Billion Trees aligns with our values.
We aspire to set an example for other organizations by demonstrating that prioritizing social and environmental responsibility is a viable business model.
Our Mission and Actions
Our mission is to restore the Earth and combat deforestation. We continually seek new ways to rejuvenate and preserve the environment. Our aim is to leave the world better than we found it, inspiring others to contribute to a greener future for all.
By focusing on tree planting and conservation worldwide, we combat deforestation that threatens habitats and accelerates climate change. Conserving existing trees and planting new ones helps protect endangered species like orangutans in Indonesia, lemurs in Madagascar, and sloths in Brazil.
How 8 Billion Trees Works
For every 8 Billion Trees product sold, we conserve existing trees and plant new ones to replace those lost to deforestation. Our members contribute to tree conservation and planting efforts monthly. We operate our own nurseries, research centers, and planting sites, partnering with organizations globally to maximize our impact.
Why Not Just Plant Trees Myself?
We encourage everyone to support local environmental initiatives. Individual contributions can make a significant difference.
However, many tree-planting organizations struggle with limited resources for outreach and awareness. This is where 8 Billion Trees steps in, focusing on fundraising, awareness, and launching global planting operations, enabling our members to make a profound impact that might otherwise be unattainable.
