Every minute, an area of forest the size of a football pitch disappears from Africa. Every hour, that’s 60 football pitches lost. By the time you finish reading this page, another 4 pitches worth of trees will be gone.
And for what? Business cards, amongst other things.
Every year, the world prints 3 trillion business cards. Within a week, 88% of them are tossed away.
• That’s 7.2 million trees cut down annually, just for business cards.
• It takes 10 litres of water to make one sheet of paper—multiply that by trillions.
• The CO₂ impact? Billions of kg of emissions per year, all for something people barely keep.
This is not just about trees. It’s about rethinking waste, cutting the excess, and making networking smarter.reciprocity within their communities, and nurturing a profound sense of global citizenship.
How it works
For every Yola card sold, we plant a tree.
For every 1,000 people who switch to Yola, we support reforestation projects in Africa.
For every company that ditches paper cards entirely, we double our commitment.
01
One Card
No printing, no reorders, no deforestation. Just smart, sustainable networking.
02
Every Share Counts
The more you connect, the more trees we plant. Your networking activity drives real-world impact.
03
Verified Reforestation
We work with trusted environmental partners to ensure that every tree planted restores forests, offsets carbon, and supports local communities.
The Impact: More Than Just Trees
Every tree we plant is a step towards a world where business and sustainability go hand in hand.
🌳 1 tree absorbs 48 lbs of CO₂ per year.
🌍 1,000 trees offset the carbon footprint of a small business annually.
💧 Forests bring back water, restore soil, and help communities thrive.
🐦 Restored forests rebuild habitats, bringing back endangered wildlife.
