At Ozami.com, we believe that little actions can spark meaningful change. That’s why, in 2024, we proudly supported an incredible initiative by Stump Up For Trees, a Welsh charity with a bold ambition: to plant one million trees across the Brecon Beacons and South Wales.
Our contribution may have been small compared to the scale of their vision, but every tree matters. Thanks to the hard work of the charity’s volunteers and expert planters, 40 new trees now stand tall in Wales, trees that will grow, thrive, and play their part in tackling climate change for decades to come.
Even more rewarding? Our contribution was acknowledged in Stump Up For Trees’ 2024/2025 Impact Report, a wonderful recognition that motivates us to continue doing our bit for people and the planet.
A Tiny Step in a Giant Mission
Stump Up For Trees has a mission that truly inspires us: to plant one million trees across South Wales.
And they’re already making incredible progress, with more than 425,000 trees planted so far, they’re nearly halfway to achieving that ambitious goal, That’s no small feat. It requires land, seedlings, passionate volunteers, and years of commitment to nurture the trees into healthy forests.
While Ozami didn’t physically plant the trees ourselves, we’re proud to support the people who make this possible. The real heroes are the volunteers and conservationists who roll up their sleeves, dig into the soil, and give these young saplings a chance to grow.
And that’s the beauty of this project, it shows that you don’t need to be an environmental expert to make a difference. Contributions come in many forms:
- Donating funds to buy seedlings and maintain young trees
- Spreading awareness so more people join the mission
- Volunteering time to help with planting and care
- Inspiring others to live sustainably in everyday life
Our support may look like a drop in the ocean, but together, every drop creates a wave.
Why Planting Trees Matters More Than Ever
Tree planting is one of the simplest yet most powerful ways to combat climate change and support biodiversity. Every tree absorbs carbon dioxide, produces oxygen, and provides shelter and food for wildlife. Beyond the science, trees also make communities more beautiful, peaceful, and livable.
In Wales, initiatives like Stump Up For Trees go beyond planting, they’re about restoring landscapes, preventing soil erosion, protecting rivers, and creating sustainable ecosystems. Planting 40 trees may sound small, but when combined with thousands of others planted across the region, the ripple effect is massive.
For Ozami, this project represents more than just offsetting carbon, it’s about leaving a legacy of hope, sustainability, and community spirit.
Why Ozami Supports Environmental Causes
At Ozami, we’re best known for our digital greeting cards, fun, thoughtful, and eco-friendly alternatives to paper cards. By sending an eCard instead of a paper card, our users already make a positive impact:
- No trees are cut down for paper
- No inks or chemicals used in printing
- No delivery miles or emissions from transportation
Supporting tree planting felt like a natural extension of our mission. We want to bring joy and connection to people while being kind to the planet. For us, planting trees isn’t just charity, it’s part of walking the talk.
The Certificate & Impact Report
We were delighted to receive a certificate and see Ozami mentioned in the official Stump Up For Trees 2024/2025 Impact Report. This acknowledgment means the world to us, because it reflects not only the trees planted but the shared belief in building a greener, fairer planet.
The report highlights how far the charity has come, the communities they’ve touched, and the partnerships that made it possible. For us, it’s a reminder that business and sustainability can (and should) go hand in hand.
