It’s that time of the year again – #TinyClimateActs is back in April 2026.
Despite shifting climate policy and rising global temps, employees are more eager than ever to make a difference.
#TinyClimateActs is our answer: an Earth Month campaign (April 1–22) that transforms everyday behaviors, like skipping single-use cups or biking to work, into meaningful action.
When: April 1–22, 2026
Who: Teams from companies of all sizes
How: Greenplaces and Sequoia will plant one tree for every three acts logged on tinyclimateacts.com via One Tree Planted.

Prizes:
- Top Team: A $200 donation will be made to an environmental nonprofit of the team’s choice on behalf of the team with the most acts.
- Top Individual: The individual with the most acts will receive a $200 gift card to Patagonia or Allbirds.

Hi [First name],
Earth Month is around the corner, and we’re excited to join Greenplaces’ and Sequoia’s #TinyClimateActs from April 1–22. Every small action, like using a reusable cup, conserving energy, or biking to work, adds up to a big difference.
Here’s how it works: for every three acts logged on the microsite, Greenplaces and Sequoia will fund the planting of one tree via OneTreePlanted. There will also be some prizes our employees can compete for at the individual and team level:
- Top Team: A $200 donation will be made to an environmental nonprofit of the team’s choice on behalf of the team with the most acts.
- Top Individual: The individual with the most acts will receive a $200 gift card to Patagonia or Allbirds.
- Second Place Individual: The individual with the second-most acts will receive a $100 gift card to Patagonia or Allbirds.
I’ve already created a team for us, so we can see how many actions we contribute collectively. Let’s aim for [30% of our workforce] to join in — think we can beat that?
Thanks for your support in making sustainability part of our culture!
