What is a carbon offset ?
That's the way to offset the effect of unavoidable emissions: remnants of our everyday usage of machines and non-natural products. If we cannot live without all artificial necessities we've grown up with, we can now neutralize their disturbing implications, with complete confidence. A contribution to environment-repair projects is offered through our partner www.plant-trees.org. €0.70 offset 7kg of carbon dioxide.

What difference do trees make ?

Planting trees is a simple, inexpensive, effective way to clean the atmosphere from greenhouse gas. Plants are endowed with a process of soaking up carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen - this is called transpiration. The plants we choose for our aim to alleviate global warming are Jatropha trees. Two features distinguish them from the rest:

• Their oilseeds, with an average oil yield of 3000 litres per hectare when mature, serve as a bio-fuel source.
• Their ability to grow in wastelands, where nothing prospers, expands cultivation.

Where are they planted ?
We could plant trees in our gardens or municipality parks. We opt, instead, the cultivation in disadvantaged communities, where these plantations relieve the atmosphere globally, plus, improving unemployment rates locally.

Where does my money go ?
Plant-trees.org stand by our effort. Their plantation projects generate revenue for anyone involved, that is local communities benefit. It's not a matter of aid - it's a matter of substantial community development. All the more jobs are created in developing countries of the world, such as Borneo. Our Jatropha trees have a further beneficial impact: they reduce dependability upon mineral oils. Jatropha seeds produce a remarkable bio-fuel to be marketed.
