Make a difference to climate change and reduce global poverty
Sounds like a tall order? It is - but that's exactly what Trees4Good offers. A unique concept to companies and individuals who want to reduce their carbon footprint. We help you or your company to change your carbon footprint AND help eliminate poverty in the poorest parts of the world.
Climate change and poverty are major problems affecting the world today and are two of the most serious challenges the human race faces. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations we must reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases – primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) - by using the technology, know how and practical solutions that are already at our disposal.
One of the best solutions to counteract CO2 production is the planting of trees. As you are no doubt aware, trees are nature’s solution to balancing the CO2 content in the atmosphere. Basically trees take in CO2 and give out oxygen and people take in oxygen and breathe out CO2. For millennia that balanced nicely – until the industrial revolution came along a couple of centuries ago and now things are no longer working quite so well. It's time for change. It's time to plant.
Trees4Good plant trees. But, more than that, we plant them in parts of the world where they provide both environmental and economic benefits. Our trees will help absorb CO2 while also helping to alleviate poverty in some of the poorest countries on earth. In addition our trees provide oil for bio fuels - an alternative to CO2 producing fossil fuels.

Carbon offsetting – “planting trees that will absorb CO2 released into the atmosphere by our actions elsewhere.”
Why not buy a tree (or several) now as a gift?
You can send trees (and a certificate of authenticity) to someone you care about. With a tree being planted for about £1 ($2), you can't go wrong.
Trees4Good has selected Jatropha as the tree it will plant across poor areas of the globe.
- Jatropha Trees consume CO2 and so, can reduce your carbon footprint.
- Jatropha Trees produce Oxygen and so, can reduce your carbon footprint.
- Jatropha can be crushed to produce Jatropha oil to be used as an alternative fuel source. This means less use of fossil fuels, less emmissions and of course reduced CO2 emissions.
- Jatropha production offers employment opportunities to workers in some of the poorest regions of the world.
Environmentally conscious initiatives such as Trees4Good, where you sponsor the growth of alternative fuel sources, help to show the level of commitment your organisation invests in green issues.
Trees4Good allows you to make a difference. Not just by reducing your carbon footprint to help alleviate global warming, but also to truly change peoples lives in the most poverty-stricken areas of the world.
