We
all know the worlds climate is changing
but what can we do about it and survive the
changes?
Firstly
you will hear of carbon offsetting. This is
where you pay a company to plant trees and this
will offset the carbon you have "generated"
through your given "carbon creator".
For
example you drive a nice big flash 6000 cc,
15 mpg car (and yes they do exist) so to salvage
your conscience you go to a website with a carbon
counter and put in your car use and it will
tell you how many trees you ( or they
will do it for you) need to plant to "offset
the carbon you have created.
In
reality all this is doing is allowing the rich
or lazy people in the world salvage their conscience
and allow them to continue to pollute the environment.
In
reality we need to reduce our carbon footprint
from the start THEN
plant some
trees to help us along the way in the future.
We
will be offering the tree planting as well in
the future but not as some part of a conscience
appeaser. We aim to plant indigenous trees in
a local wooded area to us and then send a photograph
with a 6 figure map reference as to where your
trees are planted.
We
believe that you cannot claim to offset the
carbon from your environmentally damaging activities
by planting trees now when a tree may take upwards
of 100 years to fully sequestrate the carbon
you use now.
We
not only need to drastically reduce the amount
of Co2 we produce in our daily lives but also
the amount of methane and other gasses far worse
for the environment than Co2.
Ask
yourself how many cows you eat every year ?
Each cow now produces many tonnes of Methane
every year so if you don't eat beef you are
well ahead in the environmental gasses debate.
