In the world of gaming for a good cause, it's not often we get to see the tangible results of such efforts. However, Treesplease, the team behind the debut release Longleaf Valley, has shared some inspiring news: their initiative has led to the planting of over two million real-world trees!
This remarkable achievement was made possible through their partnership with the Eden Reforestation Project, with the environmental impact estimated to offset around 42,000 tonnes of CO2. As we step into 2025, Treesplease is rolling out new in-game content inspired by Veganuary, drawing from the official Veganuary Cookbook. Whether you're fully vegan, experimenting, or skeptical, this event is your chance to dive into fresh content and snag some adorable baby animal rewards.
It's been a stellar year for Treesplease. Their CEO and founder, Laura Carter, was honored with the Global Gaming Citizen award at the 2024 Game Awards for her efforts in climate action. Additionally, Longleaf Valley took home the Best Purpose Driven Game award at the Playing for the Planet Awards in 2024, highlighting their successful "Play it, Plant It" model. This approach clearly resonates with gamers who value contributing to meaningful causes while enjoying their favorite pastime.
