USA retailer Ricker’s Replenish plants 20,000th tree in Indiana
U.S. fuel retailer Ricker’s Replenish m has offset more than 115 million pounds of carbon tailpipe emissions through a program with GreenPrint.
In May 2016, Ricker’s introduced the Ricker’s Replenish program with GreenPrint LLC at more than 500 pumps at 32 locations in the Indianapolis metro area. Since the launch, the Replenish program has offset more than 115 million pounds of carbon tailpipe emissions and planted 20,000 trees across over 20 acres in Indiana.
Through its partnership with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, Ricker’s Replenish has supported and participated in six community volunteer projects. On October 12th, during a planting event at Beech Grove Middle School, the Ricker’s volunteers along with parents and students celebrated as they officially planted the 20,000 the tree since the program’s launch. Additionally, earlier this year, Ricker’s Replenish donated $25,000 to fund the Bicentennial Statehouse project to replace and plant 44 trees indigenous on the Indiana Statehouse lawn.
“It is the support of our customers that has allowed the Replenish program, along with our network of colleagues and GreenPrint, to reduce over 800,000 tons of CO2 tailpipe emissions and plant over 60,000 trees in many communities across the United States!” said Quinn Ricker, President and CEO of Ricker’s.
As of today, Replenish plans to plant thousands of more trees with Replenish partners such as Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and the Arbor Day Foundation. It’s estimated that by 2019, Replenish will have offset over 220 million gallons of its customer gasoline purchases.
