“We Grow Trees”, the murals for trees. On the occasion of Earth Day, Treedom unveiled three murals in Milan (via Marghera, 20), London and Berlin with the aim of planting 20,000 trees by 5 June. The murals in addition to depicting trees are accompanied from the image of a QR code which allows direct access to the campaign site. With these works Treedom will support the goal of planting 20,000 trees in the period between Earth Day and World Environment Day. To directly contribute to achieving the goal of planting 20,000 new trees, for each of the trees that will be planted by users, Treedom will plant another and will give it to those who have chosen to support the campaign by planting their own tree.
