Meet Kate & Kasper: A family’s commitment to nature investments

As Kate shared, "As our family was growing, we started to think about what the world that our kids will live in."  

Already taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint in their daily lives, by not owning a car, using the train whenever possible, and minimising consumption, the family was looking for a way to deepen their commitment. Their curiosity about how to further reduce their environmental impact, especially given their frequent travel between Denmark and the U.S., led them to meet with EcoTree's team in Copenhagen.

This moment sparked a new chapter in their sustainability journey: finding a way to make a long-lasting difference through a forest subscription.

The power of long-term investment through subscription

For many, the idea of offsetting emissions can feel like a one-time action. However, Kate and Kasper wanted a sustainable commitment that would grow with them over time.

As Kate put it, "A one-time contribution is great, but it doesn’t allow for long-term planning and growth."

They knew that sustainability is not a one-off event; it's a long-term investment in the planet. By choosing a forest subscription with EcoTree, where they could support the creation of Danish forests every month, they found a way to turn sustainability into a regular habit.

"By doing a subscription, I know it will get done... we put it into our monthly finances, and it just happens automatically," said Kasper.

This seamless integration into their family's routine made it easy for them to stay committed and engaged with their environmental efforts.

With EcoTree’s forest subscription, starting is simple and hassle-free. You can select the number of trees you want to plant each month, and EcoTree takes care of the rest. The subscription model is designed to fit into your lifestyle effortlessly, so you don’t need to worry about remembering to plant your trees. It’s automatically done for you!

Why forest subscriptions matter

Kate and Kasper’s decision to invest in a forest subscription was more than just about planting trees; it was about fostering a deeper connection with nature and supporting biodiversity. For them, it was essential that their actions had a real, measurable impact. 

"We wanted to make sure that we had something that really removed carbon," explained Kasper. 

Through their subscription, they became part of a larger, ongoing effort to restore European forests; not just for today, but for the generations to come.

What makes the forest subscription model truly unique is its flexibility. EcoTree allows you to tailor your subscription to match your environmental goals. Want to plant a certain number of trees? You decide. The location is customisable; you can select whether you want to support reforestation in Danish or French forests. This gives you control over how your trees grow and where they’re planted.

A small action for a big impact

While the world faces immense environmental challenges, Kate and Kasper’s story is a powerful reminder that small actions can lead to meaningful change.

"We can at least say that for now, we put it into a [carbon] sink here, we sequester it into the growing trees," Kasper shared.

Their decision to invest in a forest subscription isn’t just about planting trees; it’s about taking responsibility for their carbon emissions and becoming part of a long-term solution for climate change and biodiversity loss.

For families like Kate and Kasper’s, starting a forest subscription is a simple yet impactful way to make a lasting difference. By investing in trees, they’re securing a greener future; not just for themselves, but for generations to come.
