100 trees were our start. Here’s what comes next.
When we launched Green Steps, we wanted to test one idea: that a digital product can create impact that’s real and measurable. Planting 100 trees through Tree-Nation was the first step. But from the beginning, we knew we wanted to go further — and bring our users along.
Digital products are not neutral. They run on energy, scale through infrastructure, and shape how millions of people spend their time. We think that comes with responsibility — and this initiative is one way we’re acting on it.
So today we’re opening the initiative to you. The goal is 300+ trees planted across the United States. The first 100 are already in the ground. The rest depends on you.
You complete 3 Workouts — We Plant a Tree
The mechanic is simple and fits into what you’re already doing.
Complete 3 workouts from your “My Plan” in Lasta during the program period and we fund the planting of one tree on your behalf through Tree-Nation. You only need to download Lasta, complete any 3 workouts, and your tree gets planted. No separate signups, no extra steps.
The feature is available inside the app — you’ll see your “Grow a Tree” progress directly on your My Plan screen, and once you hit 3 workouts, Tree-Nation sends a personal certificate with your tree’s species, location, and GPS coordinates straight to your email.

After completing the workouts you’ll get an e-mail with a tree-certificate and its exact geolocation. You can follow it over time. It’s real and trackable.
Most fitness milestones exist only in an app. This one gets planted in the ground.
The parallel isn’t accidental. A tree takes years to mature. A fitness habit takes weeks to build. Neither delivers results overnight — but both keep giving back long after the initial effort.
The Forests That Need It Most
Nearly 4 million acres of U.S. national forests need reforestation right now. Wildfires alone account for about 80% of that need — leaving behind land that can no longer recover on its own.
Your tree goes to the National Forest Recovery project: active restoration in regions where replanting isn’t optional, it’s necessary.
The project through Tree-Nation already has 226,169 trees funded toward a goal of 275,000 — and over 51,000 tons of CO₂ compensated to date. Your workout adds to that.
A Program Built to Last
We’re not treating this as a one-time Earth Day campaign. 300 trees is a deliberately small starting point — not because the problem is small, but because we’d rather commit to something real and grow it over time than announce a number we can’t stand behind.
This is part of something bigger: embedding real environmental responsibility into what Lasta does — not as a side project, but as a reflection of how we think about impact. Small daily choices, scaled across a community, can lead to something meaningful. That’s true for personal health. It’s true for the planet too.
Every tree planted through Lasta is part of something that continues to grow long after your workout is done. That’s the kind of impact we’re interested in building.
