Where does the food come from that the tree uses to grow? That was a question asked during one of our school planting workshops, The answer is simple yet very complex - it comes from the air yes 

Trees feed from the Air!

Trees like all plants carry on the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants utilise the energy from the sun to make sugar from carbon dioxide in the air. The next time you look at a tree and its bio-mass think about the fact that what you see was once nothing but a volume of carbon dioxide gasses.The chemical formula for photosynthesis being..

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O ---->sunlight and chlorophyll ---->C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

simplified

Carbon dioxide + water ---->sunlight and chlorophyll ----> glucose + oxygen

This simple chemical formula represents a key element in the reduction of excess CO₂ emissions and is the most important reaction on Earth, photosynthesis the basis of greener credentials and life.  

Welcome to the

Carbon Footprint - Offsetting Partnership securing a sustainable and balanced approach in life;

Offsetting won’t reverse the effects already caused by CO₂ emissions, its what we can do now to minimise our current CO₂ emissions and even then no matter how low we make our personal and business CO₂ emissions in re-addressing the environmental balance, there will inevitably always be some left!

This is where the forestry element comes in, utilising the natural and proven resources that will aid the filtration of excess CO₂ from the atmosphere.

If tree planting is fundamental to your greener marketing credentials and carbon conscious offset, talk with us today! it doesn't cost the earth to plant trees with us.

We trust that you find ours a means of sustainability, educational and a positive Eco-action, more importantly an affordable expenditure in creating a cleaner, greener and healthier UK environment for all to enjoy.
