The Picturesque Forest Project
Picture this - Buy an image—plant a tree.
At Rhizome Images our commitment to images of sustainability nurtures creative ideas and stimulates real growth through our Picturesque Forest Project. Imagine as an art buyer all you had to do was select an image to plant a few trees. No shovels, no messy work, just the good feeling of knowing your work helps support the environment. What could be more sustainable and eco-efficient than that?
Building the Picturesque Forest Project is an easy way for creatives and art buyers to give something back without the hassle of a promotion or a sale. It is a simple action that takes no extra time yet ends with a big payoff. Our current goal is to plant 500 trees for the California Wildfire ReLeaf Fund.
How it works:
Mae West once said, "Five will get you ten if you know how to work it." We say, for every one image licensed through Rhizome Images, we can donate up to ten trees to one of the American Forests ReLeaf funds, the nation's oldest nonprofit citizens' conservation organization. Here's how your purchases work:
- Royalty-Free:
- Web images (500 pixels) = 1 tree
- Small resolution (1500 pixels) = 2 trees
- Medium resolution (2500 pixels)= 3 trees
- Super hi-res (5652x3768) = 4 trees
- Rights-managed = 5 trees
- Rights-managed premium or custom = 10 trees
Each quarter we will post a running count of how many trees were donated on an interactive picture mosaic. Additionally, Rhizome Image clients are encouraged to start their own interactive Client Grove on our site. Each grove is worth at least 100 trees and clients can specify which American Forests program they would like to support. Show your customers you think environmentally, invest wisely, and act globally by planting your own grove, today.
Working together we can create a legacy of cleaner air for generations to come. Please join us for a walk in the Picturesque Forest. It's full of green images and newly planted trees.
