This extension will help you be more productive in an engaging, playful way. Set the timer and when the time is over, a tree will grow. You can grow your own forest by just working. The extension is free, though there are two paid options: you can either donate and your money will be spent on planting a real tree (how awesome is that??) or you can earn virtual coins (for working thoroughly and growing your own virtual forest) that will be used for the same cause. A wholesome way to work and help the environment!
