BY THE NUMBERS
FITTER PEOPLE AND PLANET
From April 1, 2022
One tree makes a difference.
One billion can change the world.
A Fitter Planet is not just healthier people, it also means a healthier planet
As part of this mission, we have partnered with non-profit Trees for the Future (TREES) to plant more than 1 million trees with farmers across the globe, helping the organization reach over 1 billion trees planted by 2030 to fight climate change. Every time a LES MILLS+ member, an Instructor, or a club partner joins our mission, we will be planting trees on their behalf.
TREES is currently working with thousands of farming families across nine countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
TREES train farmers in agroforestry and sustainable land use - so that they can grow vibrant regional economies, thriving food systems, and a healthier planet.
Unsustainable land use is at the root of our most pressing challenges. Trees have the power to support communities, improve lives, and restore the planet.
WHY TREES?
Forest Gardens planted with TREES protect the planet by:
 | The Forest Garden Approach restores degraded land, captures carbon, improves biodiversity, and prevents future unsustainable land use practises. |
 | TREES is equipping farmers with tools and knowledge to ensure they can thrive on their land long term. |
 | The average Forest Garden is home to dozens of food crops that support regional economies and empower local people to put an end to hunger and poverty. |
