We have already mentioned some of the things we have done here to try to reduce our carbon footprint. Well, according to our own calculations we are pleased to say that we are now CARBON NEGATIVE !
Sarah and Tony have planted over 2000 native trees on two and a half hectares of land which, according to figures supplied by The Woodland Trust, is enough to offset 800% of the atmospheric CO2 that their business produces.
You can estimate your carbon footprint on several sites including Carbon Neutral and if you are interested in the concept of tree planting one place you could check out is The Woodland Trust
In addition to this, it is also great news that Aidan took part in Tree O’Clock at the weekend! His group planted 402 native trees in 1 hour! Tree O’Clock is the time when (BBC) Breathing Places will be attempting to break 2 world records for the number of trees planted in one hour. This Friday will show the results, so we will keep you updated when all the counts are in.
We wondered how many of you are thinking about this? Please do let us know.
