Bybit has pledged to plant and nurture 100,000 fruit trees across India.
The cryptocurrency exchange is partnering with One Tree Planted for the project.
Other projects like “Fight for Hunger” and “Plastic-Free Nursery” are being planned to promote sustainability and reduce inequality.
Bybit has pledged to plant and nurture 100,000 fruit trees across Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Odisha, and West Bengal in India. The cryptocurrency exchange is aiming for this through its partnership with One Tree Planted.
Additionally, One Tree Planted will build a new large-scale tree nursery in Mirzapur this year to reduce the need to transport saplings. Other than saving costs and reducing carbon emissions, it also improves the quality of saplings as they acclimatize to local conditions.
Furthermore, these nurseries will employ a local workforce of widowed and elderly women. This is in order to support this group that faces many inequalities in the already marginalized communities.
Bybit’s Head of Communications Igneus Terrenus shares how Bybit recognizes the importance of giving back to society. Terrenus stresses the responsibility of ensuring that future generations experience a sustainable future. Additionally, Terrenus shares Bybit’s support for One Tree Planted’s solutions to promote sustainability and reduce inequality.
Meanwhile, One Tree Planted’s Forest Campaign Manager Ashley Lamontagne shares her appreciation towards Bybit.
