Description

The trees will be planted in: Haiti, Honduras, Indonesia, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nepal, and the Philippines.

The benefits of planting trees are widely known, including environmental, social and economic. Trees soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, acting as carbon sinks and using photosynthesis to convert the gas into glucose and oxygen.

Deforestation is responsible for about 11% of carbon emissions. Recognising this, protecting forests is a critical solution.

The average carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission per person is approximately 4.3 tons per year (World Bank, 2020). To offset this amount, an individual needs to plant about 165 trees.

One carbon credit is accepted as equivalent to 1000 kg of carbon dioxide. Carbon credit: It is the difference between the carbon emissions allowed and actually emitted carbon.

According to scientific studies, a single tree can offset anywhere between 39 kg CO2/tree per year. In order to offset 1 tonne of CO2, you would need 39 trees.

Planting trees absorbs carbon dioxide, raises air and soil quality, preserves biodiversity, improves habitats, and creates jobs.
