NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hytch, LLC, a technology platform created to motivate smarter mobility decisions, is announcing a new partnership with ForestPlanet to plant a tree for every 50 miles someone drives. Now, driving anywhere for any reason, people can plant a new forest because they tracked that trip with the award winning Hytch Rewards app.
Over the last three years, primarily on work related commuting, Hytch members have earned carbon offsets equal to the air cleaning capacity of more than 127,000 trees.
"The pandemic stopped us from moving, which gave us all a peek at clearer skies and cleaner air," said Mark A. Cleveland, co-founder and CEO of Hytch Rewards. "This is our opportunity to make a new connection between driving to work, which we just need to do, and a really creative way to revitalize our environment. As we get moving again, Hytch provides a free and easy way to keep our positive momentum. Forward looking businesses sponsor the app so trees get planted when you log trips. It's that simple."
With today's distributed workforce, people are working from home, occasionally reporting to an office or going to an essential worksite every day. Everything remains in flux. Employers use the Hytch platform as a creative way to engage teams and organize around a simple, powerful initiative. "Hytch Rewards makes it easy for people to participate and have a big impact on defending the environment each time they drive," said Hank Dearden, Executive Director of ForestPlanet. "Employers get one system that works for every member of the team, with a tree planted every 50 miles their people log using the Hytch App. It's a super cool idea that gets everyone involved."
