National Tree Day: Socks That Help Grow a Greener Future

National Tree Day: Socks That Help Grow a Greener Future

September is the perfect time to reconnect with nature and National Tree Day (September 23rd) is a reminder of just how important trees are to our planet.

From the air we breathe to the ecosystems we depend on, trees play a vital role in keeping our world balanced, healthy, and thriving.

At Friday Sock Co., we believe even small choices can make a big impact. That’s why we created This Did Good, an initiative that turns everyday purchases into something meaningful.

And for National Tree Day, we’re spotlighting a design that helps give back to the environment in a powerful way.


What Is This Did Good?

This Did Good is our way of giving back, built directly into the products you already love.

Each design in the collection is tied to a specific cause, creating real impact with every purchase.

Here’s how it works:

  • After materials, fair wages, eco-friendly packaging, and shipping

  • The remaining net profit is split 50/50

  • 50% goes directly to the charity partner tied to that design

  • The other 50% helps us grow and expand the initiative

With typical sock net profit margins around 5–10%, every purchase truly matters.

Because when you wear these socks…they don’t just look good. This Did Good.


Supporting Reforestation: Forests Canada

Our This Did Good (for trees) supports Forests Canada, a national charity dedicated to conserving and protecting forests across the country.

What They Do

Forests Canada works to:

  • Plant trees and restore forests in areas that need it most

  • Support biodiversity and wildlife habitats

  • Improve air and water quality

  • Combat the impacts of climate change

  • Partner with communities and organizations to create long-term environmental impact

Their work goes beyond planting trees, it’s about building healthier ecosystems for future generations.


Why Trees Matter More Than Ever

Trees do more than just make landscapes beautiful, they’re essential to life on Earth.

They:

  • Absorb carbon dioxide and help regulate climate

  • Produce oxygen and improve air quality

  • Provide habitats for wildlife

  • Prevent soil erosion and protect water systems

But with deforestation, wildfires, and environmental pressures, forests need more support than ever.

That’s where initiatives like this come in.

The Impact of Your Socks

When you purchase our This Did Good (for trees), you’re helping support:

  • Tree planting and reforestation efforts

  • Restoration of natural habitats

  • Environmental sustainability initiatives

  • Long-term climate impact projects

It’s a simple way to contribute to a greener, healthier future.


Small Choices, Lasting Change

National Tree Day is a reminder that protecting our planet doesn’t have to be complicated.

Sometimes it’s:

  • Making more intentional purchases

  • Supporting organizations doing meaningful work

  • Choosing products that align with your values

And when enough people make those small choices? That’s where real change begins.
