Trees are vital to offsetting our carbon emissions. Trees utilize photosynthesis to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce oxygen and wood. On average, one mature tree can absorb nearly 50 pounds of carbon a year!
Humans produce massive amounts of carbon by burning fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil, including gasoline. For context, check out the Carbon Footprint Calculator to get an idea of how much carbon you produce!
Invest in the health of Mother Earth. For just $5, you can plant a tree with Project Peril! That small gift of $5 will cover the purchasing and planting of the tree seedlings or tree saplings, which are much more labor-intensive yet yield a higher success rate for the growth of a tree.
