We are thrilled to announce that Alpha Agventure Farms has successfully planted its second tree this year through GCash’s GForest Program. This milestone reflects our commitment to environmental sustainability and our ongoing efforts to make a positive impact on the planet.
Earning Green Energy Points
Through the GForest Program, we earn green energy points for every transaction made using Alpha Agventure Farms’ GCash account. Once we accumulate enough points, GForest plants a real tree in one of their partner ecoparks. On average, it takes about 150 transactions to earn the green energy points necessary to plant one tree. These transactions reflect the everyday operations of our farm, from purchasing supplies to processing sales, making every business interaction a step toward a greener future.
What is GForest?
GCash’s GForest is a sustainability initiative that allows users to earn green energy points through cashless transactions. These points can then be used to plant real trees in designated ecoparks. It is a unique program designed to encourage environmental stewardship and foster a culture of sustainability among users.
How Does It Work?
Users can join GForest through their GCash app. Every GCash transaction, such as paying bills, buying load, or sending money, earns green energy points. Once enough points are accumulated, users can use them to plant virtual trees, which correspond to real trees that will be planted in various ecoparks across the Philippines.
Impact of GForest
Since its inception, GForest has made a significant impact on reforestation efforts in the Philippines. The program has successfully planted thousands of trees, contributing to the restoration of natural habitats, improvement of air quality, and enhancement of local biodiversity. The initiative also provides employment opportunities for local communities, furthering its positive social impact.
First Quarter Achievement
For the first quarter of 2024, we proudly earned enough points to plant a tree at the Cannonball Mangrove in Southern Negros, Philippines. Mangroves are vital to coastal ecosystems, providing habitat for numerous marine species, protecting shorelines from erosion, and aiding in carbon sequestration. Our contribution to this mangrove ecosystem is a testament to our dedication to preserving and enhancing natural habitats.
Second Quarter Success
Continuing our efforts in the second quarter of the same year, we have now earned points to plant another tree at the Tall-Stilted Mangroves of Tañon Strait. This significant body of water separates the islands of Negros and Cebu in the Visayas region of the Philippines. The Tall-Stilted Mangroves play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the region, offering sanctuary to various wildlife and acting as a natural barrier against storm surges. By planting a tree here, we are supporting the biodiversity and resilience of this important area.
