With ING Luxembourg, we’re turning support into real-world impact. Every tree you fund and every kilogram of litter collected restores nature, protects biodiversity, reduces CO₂ and connects communities. Tracked, verified, and celebrated; this is your measurable impact in action.
On 22/09/2025 we collected 35 kg of litter, including 5,5 kg of recyclables (Valorlux bags) and 29,5 kg of general waste. According to Luxembourg’s Environment Administration, municipal cleaning services collect around 1,6 kg of litter per resident per year. With this cleanup, we removed the annual litter footprint of 21 people.
Among the waste, we picked up around 400 cigarette butts (2.5 liters). Each butt contains about 7000 chemicals and can contaminate up to 1 000 liters of water. This cleanup potentially prevented the pollution of 400 000 liters of water! These butts will be recycled into urban furniture thanks to our partner Shime. Otherwise, they would have taken 10–15 years to decompose, releasing toxic microplastics into the environment.
And with the CSFN tree planting program, these 35 kg also mean 35 new trees planted!

📍 Philippines
Starting in the 1960s, Philippine mahogany was cut down nearly to extinction. this led to soil erosion, contaminated waterways, community dislacement, and biodiversity loss. Logging, slash-and-burn agriculture, land development, and forest fires continue to contribute to a high deforestation rate. One of 17 megadiverse countries and home to 700 threatened species.
