Calls tree pledge
Each tree planted will offset your environmental impact
by ‘breathing’ in CO2
emissions over its lifetime. It’s estimated that
the average person needs to save about 7,000kg of CO2
per year. The trees also provide sustainable habitat
for wildlife and will enhance the natural landscape
with native broad-leaved trees.
Trees, like all plants, sequester (absorb and store)
atmospheric carbon as part of the process of photosynthesis,
which enables them to grow. Through this process, carbon
dioxide is converted into stored carbon, and this is
why trees are sometimes referred to as ‘carbon
sinks’. By taking this carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere, trees clean the air, reduce temperatures,
and counteract our polluting lifestyles
Trees are the longest lived organisms on our planet
and they lock up approximately 730kg of carbon over
a one hundred year period. By planting trees, we can
make a real contribution to the environment and take
a positive step towards offsetting your company’s
carbon footprint. |
