The tree absorbs CO2, restores biodiversity and makes the world a better place. FORESTS ARE THE LUNGS
OF THE PLANET.
​THEY CLEAN THE AIR AND ABSORB CARBON DIOXIDE FROM THE ATMOSPHERE.ON AVERAGE A TREE ABSORBS 48LBS OF CARBON DIOXIDE
PER YEAR, FOR EVERY YEAR
​OF ITS LIFE.FORESTS CAN PROVIDE 30% OF THE SOLUTION TO KEEPING RISING GLOBAL TEMPERATURES
​BELOW 2°.To prevent the worst impacts of climate change it is imperative we dramatically reduce our carbon emissions.
​However, latest climate science tells us this alone is not enough.To keep Global Warming to less than 1.5-2 degrees we need to reach net-negative emissions.
This means removing and storing more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than we're putting into it.

And how do we do that? By planting trees.
