In honor of Texas Arbor Day on Friday, November 2, throughout October and November, ALON is partnering with local nonprofits across Texas to plant trees and engage in several sustainability projects. An ALON spokesperson will be available at each event.

We are pleased to partner with Texas drivers and nonprofit organizations throughout the state to continue to make a positive impact on the environment."
For every gallon and grade of gas pumped at all ALON 7-Eleven locations in Texas and New Mexico, now recently including El Paso and Abilene, Strive® plants trees in local parks and neighborhoods and invests in certified carbon emissions reduction projects to neutralize emissions by up to 30 percent. This allows every driver to help support their local community and the environment by pumping the same ALON 7-Eleven fuel.
The Strive® program reduces customers' tailpipe emissions through GreenPrint's proprietary platform by planting trees and investing in local, regional, and global certified carbon reduction projects.
