You need to use a plane to get to your important meeting?You have to drive to work? You deserve a holiday?

What are the alternatives? You are damaging the environment—how about putting something back?

By planting trees we can help nature soak up that extra carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere. All green plants photosynthesise – soaking up CO2, turning it into food and giving out Oxygen as a waste product. Trees do this quickest and are also great habitat for wildlife so get out there and plant trees!

Planting trees is only a short-term solution to global warming. If we really want to eliminate global warming then we must stop using fossil fuels altogether. Planting trees is a great way for individuals to take action though and it is a great way to make people in your community aware that their actions have a big impact on the environment.

Check out the tree calculator to show you how many trees you need to plant to counteract the effects of your journey.
