| Cutting the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is a problem that must be addressed immediately. At Trees for the Future, have created one way for environmentally and socially concerned businesses to offset their carbon emissions. |
| |
| By planting trees in tropical and sub-tropical areas, Global Cooling Businesses are able to help offset their annual carbon emissions, in conjunction with local efforts to reduce their energy use and take advantage of alternative energy sources like wind and solar. |
| |
| Please contact us if you are interested in becoming a global cooling business. Our Business Energy Audit allows us to calculate your business' annual carbon output and determine approximately how many trees need to be planted to offset your business' annual carbon emissions. Please understand that this audit is informal, and it is not exact. This audit is based on your estimate of your business' annual CO2 emissions, and our estimate of the approximate number of tropical trees it would take to absorb that amount of CO2 annually (at 50 lbs/ tree/ yr). You should use this audit in conjunction with other conservation/ offset measures. |
