Plant Real Trees for Free While Browsing the Web — Our Partnership with IdleForest
We're thrilled to announce a new partnership between 1ClickImpact and IdleForest — a collaboration that makes it easier to make a real environmental impact: just by browsing the internet.
Plant Trees for Free — Just by Browsing the Web
1ClickImpact partners with IdleForest to make climate action effortless for everyone.
At 1ClickImpact, we’re on a mission to make real-world impact accessible, scalable, and effortless. Today, we’re excited to announce a powerful new partnership that takes this mission to the next level:
We’ve teamed up with IdleForest — a platform that allows anyone to plant real trees simply by sharing unused internet bandwidth. Yes, that means you can now make a positive environmental impact for free, while you browse the web, without changing your habits.
This is climate action for the modern age: automated, low-friction, and available to everyone.
What is IdleForest?
IdleForest is a platform that transforms passive internet use into real-world reforestation. Users download a lightweight application or browser plugin that safely shares a small amount of their unused bandwidth with trusted partners. In return, IdleForest earns revenue and they use that revenue to plant verified trees around the world.

Our APIs are used by companies worldwide to:
- Incentivize customer actions with eco-rewards
- Offset operations automatically
- Add purpose-driven features to apps, products, and internal tools
But what about individuals? That's where IdleForest comes in. We wanted to partner with a platform that empowers everyday internet users to make a tangible difference (no technical knowledge or budget required).
This partnership allows us to support grassroots impact at scale, while IdleForest benefits from 1ClickImpact's global network of trusted reforestation partners and real-time impact tracking.
