Be a driver of good change. Support reforestation. Help create a cleaner, brighter future.
Trees are essential. They give off oxygen that we need to breathe and they help reduce air pollution. One mature tree can absorb 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and one acre of forest is needed to absorb twice the CO2 produced by the average car's mileage each year. So, in order to counterbalance the damaging emissions from cars and the alarming rate of deforestation, we need to plant many trees every year.
The campaign for 100 Trees Per Car is designed to help. New and restored forests will not only reduce greenhouse gases, but create habitat for many endangered species and reduce the amount of stormwater runoff, which reduces erosion and pollution in our waterways. Forests can also help reduce the spread of zoonotic disease by creating healthier habitat for species with infectious diseases.
So please join the campaign - for you, the trees, so many species, and the world!
"Trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow through the process of photosynthesis, converting it into the oxygen we all need to live. In fact, there is no greater carbon-capture technology than photosynthesis — which happens to be both highly efficient — and free. In recent years, scientists and policymakers have worked to build public awareness of how deforestation drives global warming: When a tree is cut down, not only is its efficient carbon-storage potential lost, but all the carbon that was stored in the tree is released into the atmosphere—either quickly, as when forests are burned, or more slowly, as the debris from razed forests decomposes. Keeping forests intact is therefore a no-brainer in the fight against climate change." - Rainforest Alliance
