Planting 5000 Trees with JUST ONE Tree

The UKOUG conference organisers have partnered with JUST ONE Tree for this conference. For every ticket sold for this conference, they will plant a tree with JUST ONE Tree. As a headline sponsor, Version 1 is committing to planting 5000 trees through JUST ONE Tree.

JUST ONE Tree is a non-profit initiative removing CO2 from the atmosphere and reversing biodiversity loss through global reforestation. They plant trees in areas severely affected by deforestation to maximise the effect on reducing global warming. In the process, they help to provide agricultural education and sustainable incomes to local communities.

But they don’t stop there. JUST ONE Tree concentrates on restoring the entire ecosystem by planting on land and in the oceans, and they also focus on helping to shape the next generation of planet-conscious thinkers by bringing environmental education into the classrooms with lesson plans and JUST ONE Tree Day.
