Tropos is a proud sponsor of American Forests, a non-profit focused on planting trees to help build a greener, healthier future for communities.  Tropos has committed to work with American Forests to plant a tree for every router we sell, improving air quality and energy efficiency.

Did you know?

Trees Contribute Towards Energy Savings

• A mature tree can reduce peak summer temperatures by 2º - 9º Fahrenheit through the evapotranspiration of roughly 40 gallons of water per day.  If planted near a building, the cooling effects of evapotranspiration and shading can reduce energy bills by 7%-40%.
• The net cooling effect of a young, healthy tree is equivalent to ten room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day.
• By reducing wind exposure, planting trees near a home can reduce heating bills by 2%-8%.

Trees Help Improve Air Quality

• A single tree can absorb 10 pounds of air pollutants per year
• The average healthy mature tree produces roughly 260 pounds of net oxygen annually (note the average person consumes 386 pounds of oxygen per year).

Trees Can Improve Water Quality

• A mature tree can absorb 36% of the rainfall it comes in contact with, reducing runoff and soil erosion.
• Over half the nation’s drinking water originates from forests.
• A single tree can intercept 760 gallons of rainwater in its crown, reducing runoff and flooding around homes.
