Treesplease have announced that the initiative spurred by their debut release Longleaf Valley has borne fruit. Players have helped plant over two-million real-world trees! There's also new in-game content inspired by Veganuary to enjoy!
When we talk about gaming for good, follow-ups on the impact are often scarce. However, Treesplease, the creators of Longleaf Valley, have shared an inspiring update: their initiative has resulted in planting over two million real-world trees. This achievement was made possible through their partnership with the Eden Reforestation project, which has offset approximately 42,000 tonnes of CO2.
As we step into 2025, Treesplease is launching a Veganuary event, inspired by the official Veganuary Cookbook. Whether you're vegan, exploring veganism, or skeptical about it, you'll want to participate in this event to experience new in-game content inspired by new year's resolutions and to earn some adorable baby animal rewards.
Go greenIt has been an exceptional year for Treesplease. Their CEO and founder, Laura Carter, received the Global Gaming Citizen award at the 2024 Game Awards for her efforts in climate action. Additionally, Longleaf Valley was honored with the Best Purpose Driven Game award at the 2024 Playing of the Planet Awards.
Treesplease's "Play it, Plant It" model has clearly struck a chord with gamers who enjoy contributing to a good cause while having fun. Their significant impact demonstrates the potential of gaming to drive positive change.
While not directly tied to a specific cause, the upcoming game Communite also emphasizes community and improvement. For more insights, check out Jupiter Hadley's preview of Communite.
