Offset your carbon footprint in the best way possible!
You’ve gotten the company’s light bulbs changed to the more energy efficient types, started a recycling project for all those discarded newspapers, old faxes and photocopies and you’re always encouraging everyone to use public transportation or carpool to work. But still you know your company is contributing more carbon dioxide than you’re offsetting…
So what next? What are you going to do to bring your company to a carbon neutral position? There are a few ways you can go about this, but the most interesting, unique, and worthwhile ways is a project in Ireland which aims to reforest the countryside of that wonderful country.
Multiple sources agree, for approximately every ton of carbon you or your company produces, it takes only two newly planted trees to offset that ton. There are dozens of tree-planting organizations whose efforts will help you offset your carbon footprint, but there’s only one organization planting historic oak trees in County Armagh, Ireland, the same area where King Conmael once hunted and rode under the majestic oaks’ spreading branches. Those beautiful oaks, witnesses to so much history, were long ago cut down to feed the need for the shipbuilding industry.
I am sure that you will be suprised to hear that the most treeless land in Europe is Ireland.
Rooted in Ireland’s oak planting project is situated in a beautiful part of Ireland, close the historic city of Armagh, and surrounded by rolling hills and mountain ranges!
Imagine the satisfaction you can have knowing that you’re not only offsetting your company’s carbon footprint by having memorial oak trees planted through Rooted in Ireland, but you’re also bringing back an important part of the natural history to a proud and beautiful region through your donation.
For just under $100 you can offset approximately one-half ton of your carbon emissions through the planting of a single memorial oak tree at the Rooted in Ireland site. These trees will live complete lives where they are planted in Ireland. They will not be cut down, but will stand as living memorials to your dedication to stop global warming. To remind you of your company’s part in the fight to reduce carbon emissions, you will receive a certificate, a photograph of the site and a personalized letter. Your name will be entered into our ledger and as people visit, they will also be reminded of your contribution.
It is such a good thing to offset your carbon footprint in any way that you wish! However, knowing that you are helping bring back trees to the landscape of magical, mystical Ireland has to be worth a little extra!
