What we do?

At PoD, we bridge the gap between subscribers and planting partners. But what do we mean by "subscribers" and "planting partners"?

Subscribers can be anyone—an individual or a business—located anywhere in the world. Planting partners, on the other hand, are organizations working directly with communities on the ground. Together, they contribute to making sustainability a reality while supporting local development and community resilience.

Let’s break it down with a couple of examples:

John from VancouverJohn works long hours, committed to his career but passionate about making a difference. His busy schedule makes it difficult to engage directly in environmental projects. Then, he discovers PoD and seizes the opportunity to plant 25 trees. Now, John not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also joins a global community of like-minded individuals working to create positive change.

A Business’s ContributionBusinesses can also partner with PoD to make a meaningful impact. Their contribution goes beyond donations; it represents active collaboration in promoting sustainability and supporting communities. Through their subscription with PoD, companies demonstrate their commitment to the environment and receive recognition as they achieve significant tree-planting milestones, while helping to foster a greener future for everyone.

Rince from Timor Leste

Rince is part of a women-led agroforestry project in Timor Leste. Her team works tirelessly to restore the environment, cultivate sustainable food sources, and provide income for local families. By supporting Rince’s project, PoD helps empower women in rural areas and strengthen community resilience. Through PoD, Rince’s team receives the resources they need from subscribers like John, allowing them to expand their impact and create positive change in their communities.

These stories illustrate how PoD connects subscribers—whether individuals or businesses—with organizations like Rince's, empowering communities to create lasting, positive change.

Bridging Time Zones, Connecting Worlds

One day, at 11 AM in Timor Leste, Rince and her team plant trees, confident that their work is supported by PoD’s global network. The day before, at 6 PM in Vancouver, John logs into his account, excited to see how the trees he sponsored are being planted. He has questions about the process and is eager to meet people with similar interests from different cultures. Meanwhile, a business subscriber in London receives a detailed report illustrating how their contributions support agroforestry projects like Rince's, reinforcing their commitment to sustainability.

Through our platform, John, Rince, and the business partner are connected—each contribution has a direct and meaningful impact on Rince’s community.

Why Trees?

Trees are more than just plants—they are the cornerstone of a sustainable environment. A single tree connects air, soil, and water, serving as a natural filter and regulator. When we plant fruit-bearing or indigenous trees, we’re not just protecting the ecosystem; we’re providing food, medicine, and homes for wildlife, while also boosting local economies.

Trees also combat soil erosion, reduce the risk of flooding by slowing down rainfall runoff, and act as windbreaks, protecting homes and crops. In communities, when agroforestry is used as practice trees provide a regular source of food and an opportunity for economic growth, offering jobs in tree care and agroforestry management.
