Ikea Plants Trees
PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA, June 21, 2006 – “Plant a Tree. Clean the Air. Cool the Globe.” That’s the idea behind IKEA’s and American Forests’ national initiative to plant hundreds of thousands of trees nationwide. Starting June 21, 2006, IKEA stores will be asking customers to donate $1 to plant one tree. IKEA will also match donations for the first 100,000 trees planted."
“A passionate commitment to the environment is central to the IKEA philosophy. Our quality of life depends on the quality of the environment, and IKEA is dedicated to keeping the environment healthy and green. If one dollar plants one tree, imagine what thousands will do. It’s a chance for shoppers to help reduce CO2 pollution and renew America’s forests. It’s a great opportunity to act globally by giving locally.” said Pernille Lopez, president, IKEA North America."
"IKEA uses resources and raw materials efficiently, which means reducing waste, saving energy, and taking wood from well-managed forests. IKEA believes doing good business - while being a good company - is not only possible, it’s a must!"
