"Being successful with social and environmental work is not an easy thing. It takes a dedicated organization. It takes clear goals, strategies, time plans and responsibilities. And above all, it takes a vision to create a better everyday life for the many people." according to Anders Dahlvig, President of the IKEA Group.

At Laguna Guitars, we know that trees are an economical, long-term solution to many of our tough environmental problems, including air pollution, water pollution, climate change, wildlife protection, habitat restoration and more.

That’s why Laguna has partnered with American Forests to grow a healthier world. With our “One Guitar, One Tree” initiative, Laguna proudly plants a tree for every guitar we make. In addition, Laguna shipping cartons are designed to provide maximum protection with a minimum of material. Boxes are made from 100% recycled cardboard that are also 100% recyclable.

In the interests of conservation, Laguna doesn’t print glossy, heavyweight catalogs (millions of catalogs from various companies end up in landfills every year). A well-documented Web site and soon-to-come downloadable PDFs more ecologically serve that purpose as customers print only what they need. That way we can all save more trees, make more great guitars and plant more trees again…

Laguna invites your thoughts and ideas on the subject at www.playlaguna.com

It’s an easy first step, because all you need is your feet. Our collective goal is 24,900 miles – the equivalent to an entire lap around the earth! When we achieve this, we’ll have reduced carbon emissions by 20,772 lbs by walking instead of driving which is equivalent to planting 488 trees. By partnering with AmericanForests.org, we’re increasing the benefit. Now, for every mile walked, we’ll plant 10 trees for a total of 4,880 trees!

By visiting www.lime.com/walkout to join the campaign and start walking, you’ll be able to track your personal progress, follow the community’s progress, share photos of your walk through Flickr, and find resources & tools to make walking more fun and productive, in addition to helping us plant 4,880 trees.

LP Underground, the official fan club of the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning rock band Linkin Park, recently joined forces with non-profit organization Music For Relief for an extremely generous donation to American Forests that will fund the planting of 100,000 new trees.

To support Music For Relief and to show appreciation to Linkin Park fans, LP Underground made a contribution to Music For Relief on behalf of its fan club members, and in turn, Music For Relief is submitting that donation to the cause that matters most to the Linkin Park fan club members. Linkin Park fans debated and voted on the cause that they thought would make the most difference in our environment. In the end, 50% of the voting members decided that they could make the greatest environmental impact by planting trees with American Forests.

With this donation, each LP Underground member is helping to plant a tree to help our environment. LP Underground’s donation of 100,000 trees will help to absorb CO2 at a rate of 13 pounds per tree per year, which totals to the absorption of 1.3 million pounds of CO2 per year. The trees will help to restore areas damaged by wildfire where critical wildlife habitat has been lost and to clean our air and water. Healthy forests filter water, remove air pollution, sequester carbon, and provide homes for wildlife. Thank you to LP Underground and Music For Relief for their astounding support for American Forests.
