lives spared

All animals farmed and wild is spared by the plant-based meals our community has eaten. Every meal is one animal off the plate and a patch of forest its feed never had to clear.

What is Plantee

Eating plants, made to count.

Plantee is an app that rewards people for eating plant-based, then verifies every meal. One meal spares more than the animal on the plate. Here’s how.

01

People eat plants

Someone picks a plant-based meal and logs it in the app. A small daily choice, made by thousands of people.

02

Every meal is verified

We check and count each one, so a private choice turns into impact you can actually point to.

03

Two kinds of lives are spared

The farmed animal that was never raised, and the wild animals whose forest no longer has to be cleared to grow its feed.

The full picture

One meal, three things spared.

The headline counts every life. Here is how it splits between the wild animals, the farmed animals, and the forest left standing.

The same demand that cages a farmed animal burns the forest a thousand wild ones call home.

A statistic is easy to scroll past. The forest it kept standing, and the lives still in it, are not.

The reality

The animal on the plate is only half of it.

Keeping meat cheap means growing mountains of feed, and that land has to come from somewhere. Most of it comes from forests, and from the wild animals that lived in them.

of plants, animals and insects are lost every day as the forests they live in become farmland.

None of this is inevitable. Every plant-based meal leaves a forest standing and its animals in it.

Why it works

We don’t fight deforestation tree by tree. We remove the reason for it.

Forests are cleared to make room for feed crops and grazing because the world keeps ordering meat. Replant a hectare while demand holds and another one falls somewhere else. Plantee works at the source: the demand itself.

Downstream

Treating the symptom

Replanting, protests and protected zones matter. But they push back against an appetite that keeps the bulldozers paid for.

Removing the cause

Every rewarded plant-based meal is meat that never gets ordered. Less feed to grow, less land to clear, fewer homes lost.

The surest way to save a forest is to take away the reason anyone wants it gone.

Every meal on this page happened because someone chose plants over meat, sparing a farmed animal and the forest its feed would have cost. You can pay for more of those choices, for about $0.08 a meal.
