International Day of Forests!

Today, March 21st, marks the International Day of Forests, a globally recognized occasion celebrating one of our planet's most crucial components - the forests! At The Good Roll, where our mission is as deeply rooted in sustainability as trees in the soil, we wholeheartedly embrace this day.

Why Does International Day of Forests Exist?

The Day of the Forest, or International Day of Forests, is an annual observance established by the United Nations in 2012, celebrated worldwide on March 21st. This special day was created to raise awareness about the importance of all types of forests and highlight the crucial role forests play in sustaining life on Earth.

Unfortunately, our forests are facing severe threats from deforestation, wildfires, and climate change. Each year, vast areas of forest are lost, which is detrimental not only to us but to the planet as well. The Day of the Forest serves as a reminder of the importance of forests and calls everyone to action. It's a wake-up call to better care for our forests, protect endangered areas, rehabilitate places in poor condition, and remember the importance of trees, even outside forests.

International Day of the Forests is about recognizing and celebrating the value of forests and trees to life on Earth. It's a day to reflect on our responsibility to protect and sustainably manage these natural resources, so they can continue to benefit our planet and its inhabitants.

This Year's Theme for Day of the Forest

Each year, the Day of the Forests focuses on a specific theme related to forest conservation and management. This helps organizations, schools, and communities to organize events, awareness campaigns, and tree-planting actions. These activities demonstrate the importance of forests in our lives and encourage us to ensure their preservation for future generations.

This year's theme is "Forests and Innovation," focusing on renewing solutions for the conservation, management, and restoration of forests worldwide. With the challenges of deforestation, climate change, and the loss of flora and fauna, it's more important than ever to think creatively and innovatively. This theme calls on us to collaborate, from scientists and businesses to you and me, by supporting innovative solutions and living more sustainably. Let's use this year as an opportunity to show how much we care for our forests by being creative in how we protect and preserve them for future generations.

Why Are Forests So Important?

About a third of our planet is covered with forests, which are incredibly important for life on Earth. They provide a home to most of the planet's plants and animals and are crucial in combating climate change. Forests absorb CO2, the primary greenhouse gas, and produce oxygen, which we all need.

Forests cover about a third of the Earth's surface and form an indispensable foundation for life on our planet. They are not only the home to a significant portion of global biodiversity but also play a vital role in fighting climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releasing oxygen.

We protect the forests as well!

At The Good Roll, we strive to make positive changes every day. Our use of bamboo, which grows 30 times faster than trees and absorbs more CO2, highlights our commitment to environmental friendliness and innovation. We're not just about creating a healthier world but also about providing essential sanitary facilities to communities in need, thanks to the donation of 50% of our profits to building toilets in Ghana.

Are you joining?

The Day of the Forests is a perfect time to take concrete steps towards a more sustainable world. Here are some actions you could take:

Opt for Sustainability: Consider using eco-friendly toilet paper like The Good Roll. This is not just a sustainable choice; it means you're supporting products made with respect for nature. Moreover, with your purchase, you help contribute to social projects, such as building sanitary facilities in areas like Ghana, where access to clean toilets is not a given.

Plant a Tree: Joining tree planting actions can be local or even on a global level. When you plant a tree, you contribute to restoring ecosystems, increasing biodiversity, and reducing CO2 in the atmosphere. Every tree counts, as trees are essential for purifying the air and providing habitats for various animal and plant species.


Live Consciously: This means actively making choices that are less burdensome on the planet. Consider eating less meat, reducing waste by reusing and recycling, and choosing products that are sustainably produced. By living more consciously, you help reduce the demand for non-sustainable products and encourage the production of green alternatives.

By taking these actions, you contribute to the health and well-being of our planet, not just on the Day of the Forests but every day.

Stronger Together

On International Day of Forests, we remind ourselves of the power of collective efforts. By making conscious choices and working together, we can create a world where nature and humanity are in balance. At The Good Roll, we're proud of the role we play in this, and we thank you, our amazing community, for your ongoing support.
