It's all about our use of ENERGY
Energy, mostly obtained from burning hydo-carbon fuels, is
increasing the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere resulting in
global warming.
The rise in burning hydro-carbon fuels is increasing the temperature
of the atmosphere causing weather patterns to intensfy and ice caps to
melt.
Tree Solutions
Mother nature has something that can help "offset" increases in
rising carbons, trees! The forests of the world act a reserve of carbon
dioxide 'locking' it up in trees. These, however, are being felled at
an alarming rate.
Many scientists believe we must reverse these trends urgently if we are to avoid increasing climatic disasters.
Your Solution
Reducing our personal energy consumption and planting trees can make
us carbon neutral, it's our way of contributing to the solution.

| Developing the problem
Developed countries tend to use much more energy because of higher
standards of living and demand for luxury items and increasing use of
power.
Through our network, plant tree save planet.com can plant one tree in the developing world for about £1.
For £1.25 per month
If you drive it only takes £15 per year to make you carbon neutral!
That donation will allow us to buy 15 trees which would make your car CARBON NEUTRAL.
If you don't fly round the world or race around in power boats then
we calculate that £25 per year will make your total life style carbon
neutral.
So can you make that donation? Even if you start with just £1 you could be on your way to being carbon neutral! Please donate!
Did You know: - An average tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide each year
- An acre of trees can take in a cumulative 26 tons of carbon dioxide - enough to counter the effect of a car driving 26,000 miles
- Trees offer natural cooling beneath their branches that can reduce noise pollution and can help slow or halt soil erosion
