"SodaStream is honored to participate in such an important project," said Daniel Birnbaum, CEO of SodaStream.  "Tree-planting improves local livelihoods through sustainable productivity related to healthy forests.  These programs help increase food yield, protect soil erosion from wind and water to enable nearby agriculture, and create jobs for Brazil's timber industry.  SodaStream's eco-friendly products will be available in Brazil in a few weeks, so this is a great way to begin our connection to the region."

David Tye, Executive Director at TFTF added, "Communities around the globe rely on trees to meet their basic needs, but they end up destroying their environment by simply trying to survive.  Thanks to the support of forward-thinking businesses like SodaStream, Trees for the Future works with communities to plant fast-growing multipurpose trees, so that they can improve their livelihoods while also protecting the environment.  It is a true win-win situation."

Why planting trees? Planting trees is one of the most cost-effective ways to offset carbon emissions, as well as beautify an area. It takes only 16 trees to supply the oxygen for one person's life, and it is estimated that every five or six new trees can offset one ton of carbon dioxide during their lifespan.  For more information or to donate to Trees for the Future visit: www.sodastream.com/planttrees
