Rotary and Treekly
Treekly is an app which turns “footsteps into forests”. Mangrove trees are planted as a reward for users who adopt and maintain a daily walking habit of 5000 steps. Good for your health. Good for our planet.
Treekly is an app that turns "footsteps into forests", helping large communities, businesses and individuals remove harmful carbon emssions already in the atmosphere. Some Districts within Rotary Great Britain & Ireland have negotiated with Treekly to provide their fully automated Steps League technology for free and to crreate a Rotary GB&I Community Leage (ranking clubs based on Average Steps per member and Total Trees Planted.
When users earn trees from completing the Treekly Challenge, native species of mangroves are planted at Moraharivo, Madagascar.
