Tears for Trees is a mission to save Romania’s last remaining virgin forests from illegal deforestation. It all started when we created the first chainsaw oil that made lumberjacks think… with tears.
Tears for Trees two-stroke oil is a specially designed product that contains a unique blend of ingredients found in pepper spray, mixed in with regular two-stroke oil. When combined with gasoline, a chemical reaction occurs as soon as the chainsaw starts, creating a cloud of smoke with the same effect as pepper spray: when it hits your eyes, you start to cry. We dispatched free samples of ‘Tears for Trees’ in local Romanian shops where lumberjacks normally buy oil and petrol, close to those vulnerable forests. The attractive packaging was designed to fool the lumberjacks. After using the oil and examining the packaging, they discovered an awareness message on the back of the bottle.
At Agent Green, we understand that Tears for Trees alone won’t be enough to stop illegal deforestation in Romania. We need to act on a bigger scale, with dedicated field teams that constantly control and expose illegal tree cutting.
So we created an online store where people could sponsor the products that teams need in the field. Tears for Trees two-stroke oil, GPS trackers, Outdoor cameras, backpacks,... Discover or donate these products on www.tearsfortrees.org.
