REACTINE® is partnering with Tree Canada, the only national non-profit organization dedicated to planting and nurturing trees in rural and urban environments in every province across the country, to plant more trees and help combat climate change. Studies have revealed that climate change has been linked to a longer allergy season, affecting Canadians who experience seasonal allergies1. Reforestation and tree planting can help counteract climate change by capturing carbon, the excess of which can increase the Greenhouse Effect, a contributor to climate change.2,3

REACTINE® will be sponsoring Tree Canada to support the planting of more than 5,800 seedlings across the country as part of Tree Canada's National Greening Program. The sponsorship will also go towards “Treemendous Communities”, one of Tree Canada’s Community Tree Grant programs, to help support a local community organization’s tree planting project.
