IKEA and the Woodland Trust
IKEA co-workers and customers can create a Foot of Forest with the Woodland Trust just by shopping in store!
Did you know that the UK is one of the least wooded places in Europe?
Woods are important! For generating oxygen, absorbing carbon, creating homes for wildlife, and being beautiful green spaces for us all!
So every time an IKEA FAMILY card is swiped, IKEA will donate 10p to the Trust, which is enough to create one square foot of forest.
With your help, over four years we aim to create enough woodland to cover an area the size of 82 IKEA stores and their car parks!

IKEA Checks Out of Plastic Bags
IKEA Becomes First Leading UK Retailer to Phase Out Single-Use Plastic Bags.
Since IKEA UK started charging for plastic carrier bags in June 2006, plastic bag consumption has been reduced by 95%.
All profits from charging for plastic carrier bags (circa £35,000) have been donated to England's Community Forest.
IKEA and WWF began cooperation in 2002 to jointly promote responsible forestry and combat illegal logging. We are currently working on projects in: China, Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Camdodia, Indonesia and Ukraine.
