2021 Tree-Planting Highlights:
emerginC is a skin care company who just planted nearly 80,000 trees split between Nepal and Madagascar! They have an amazing reputation in two areas: 1) product effectiveness and 2) their history of environmental consciousness. One example of environmental consciousness is that they are generously planting a tree for every retail-sized, scientific organics product sold. They already offset their carbon and their products are paraben-free, free of synthetic fragrances and colors; do not use animal products, do not test on animals and their product boxes are not recycled, but made from paper that is forest stewardship council and sustainable forest initiative certified and use non-toxic, vegetable-based inks. Plant-It 2020 salutes emerginC for not only producing what A-list celebrities recognize as many of the best products on the market but for also doing business in a way that is environmentally conscious. It is what makes them clearly and effortlessly stand-out from their competitors!

New Leaf Service Contracts offers a variety of fully insured service plan programs from multiple underwriters. But if none of those templates quite fit, they also create custom plans specific to your business. Just as a tree requires nourishment to flourish, New Leaf also provides administrative, technological and marketing support throughout the implementation of the program that includes training, reporting integration, data analytics and a suite of internally developed self-service tools. Additionally, for every ten contracts they sell, one tree is donated to Plant-It-2020.
In 2021, New Leaf planted 15,000 trees between Florida and Georgia. These went into no-logging locations such as riparian zones and wilderness areas where rivers, streams and watersheds will be enhanced and improved by needed tree-cover.
DentalXChange pioneered the web-based, dental, EDI solutions industry and now has over 12,000 dental offices as clients.

Not content with that major feat, Dental Exchange partnered with Plant-It 2020 to generously plant a tree for each new practice they sign-up. This organization came to us with genuine interest in the environment rather than trying to market themselves so they deserve recognition for environmental excellence.
