Impacting SDGs

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is an action plan for people, planet, and prosperity, with 17 sustainable development goals at its heart (SDGs). The Sustainable Development Goals are an urgent call to action for all nations around the world. These 17 objectives are integrated to balance the three pillars of sustainable development: economic, social, and environmental.

The question is why FloCard, which appears to be just another digital business card, and how FloCard's acceptance could enable individuals, institutions, governments, and businesses to achieve all 17 SDGs. Here is the answer.

Each year, 100 billion business cards are printed worldwide, resulting in the logging of around 6 million trees. Furthermore, approximately 90% of all business cards are discarded within a week of receipt. That entails chopping down 5.4 million trees for the sole purpose of throwing them away. FloCard is on a quest to prevent those 6 million trees from being felled for no reason. It's not an attempt to reimagine the business card, but rather the earth as it once was. We strongly encourage you to begin using FloCard right away.

Whenever a FloCard is created or exchanged, we:

Plant a tree (seedling) in the hope of a greener tomorrow

Support SDG 1 (No Poverty) by establishing a strong foundation of healthy, well-managed forests, watersheds, and soils.

Work toward SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by restoring forests, growing trees, and encouraging sustainable agriculture.

Use forest bathing to promote SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing) (Shinrin Yoku). Reforestation has the potential to provide a long-term, high-quality supply of food and water while also lowering disease transmission..

Commit to SDG 4 (Quality Education), as tree planting and maintenance directly supports education by increasing income and reducing time spent obtaining basic requirements like food and fuelwood.

Help achieve SDG 5 (Gender Equality) through reforestation and agroforestry. Reforestation improves gender equity by enhancing women's food security and boosting their access to nutrition. We collaborate with women-led NGOs and cooperatives to help them increase their family's income by growing agroforestry crops.

Work on SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) in a proactive manner, as trees play an important role in capturing, filtering, and holding water. Water scarcity affects around 2 billion people worldwide. Having access to clean, sufficient water could enhance their lives.

Align with SDG 7 (Affordable Clean Energy), as replanting aids in the healing of land degradation caused by coal, gas, and petroleum-based fuel mining. Bioenergy has a higher environmental impact.

Support SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) through agroforestry and reforestation. Both of these operations necessitate sub-activities such as seed gathering, sapling growth, project management, site monitoring, and food crop production, all of which create jobs.

Support SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by planting trees in order to assist develop thriving communities. Building sustainable and resilient infrastructure necessitate avoidance of natural calamities like floods, landslides, dust storms, and other natural disasters. We are directly dependent on healthy forests and land for the avoidance.

Align with SDG 10 (Reduced Inequality) through reforestation. As underprivileged groups cut down trees for fuelwood, hunt wildlife for food, and clear land for agriculture, land degradation is common. Planting trees benefits people, the planet, and brings prosperity. Reforestation can boost income, increase land productivity, and minimise the need for people to migrate to more fertile areas.

Support SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by planting trees in urban, suburban, and rural areas to help restore important ecosystem services.

Support SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by establishing interconnection and resource availability for informed decision-making and innovation.

Plant trees and native seedlings to contribute to SDG 13 (Climate Action). Planting trees helps to increase ecosystem resilience, reduce climate change effects, and buy time to adjust. Soil and biodiversity loss can be mitigated by planting native seedlings in ecologically appropriate sites.

Restore land to contribute to SDG 14 (Life Below Water). Forests are affected by everything that happens on land. Land restoration relieves stress on the aquatic ecology.

Promote SDG 15 (Life on Land) through reforestation and conservation, as both are necessary for a better, more sustainable future in which poverty is minimised, food and water are available, biodiversity is protected, and sustainable livelihoods are attainable.

Restore forests to align with SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). Land degradation causes food scarcity, which leads to conflict and rivalry. This battle contributes to greater environmental damage and deforestation. Forest restoration can assist to counteract this trend.

Put SDG 17 (Partnerships for Goals) into practise and promote it since reforestation can create collaboration between governments and organisations, allowing local efforts to be scaled up to regional, national, and worldwide levels.
