At Hopper, we’re committed to making positive change for the environment. With every booking, we plant two trees for free as part of our carbon offset program.
THE PROGRAM
How it works
Hopper donates trees directly to our partner who has planting locations all over the world. We currently work with planting partners focused on mangrove reforestation in Africa.
Book with us
Any flight, hotel, home, or car rental booking qualifies for the program.
Trees are planted
For each booking made, we plant two trees and monitor their growth.
Make an impact
Over the course of its lifetime, a tree will offset more than half a ton of CO2
OVERALL IMPACT
Power of a tree
Other than drawing down carbon over the trees’ lifetime, reforestation and planting trees has other great benefits — both for the environment and the surrounding communities.
Grows habitats for animals
It’s no surprise that deforestation devastates the habitats of local wildlife. By planting trees, we are able to rebuild and protect ecosystems that have been negatively impacted by climate change and human development.
Purifies water & soil
Trees work to purify water sources for communities as well as replenish the existing soil with nutrients needed for farmers to be economically independent.
Controls flooding & erosion
Planting trees helps protect communities from deadly floods and winds during cyclones and slows the erosion of shorelines. Fisheries are severely impacted by erosion and are able to be replenished — helping locals that rely on them for food and income.
Helps local communities
The planting sites we partner with help to employee some of the most poverty stricken communities. Planters are paid a salary, enabling them to plan for education, medical costs and even invest in starting their own community-based businesses.
We have numerous examples of planters being able to put their kids through school because of Eden.”
