We’re not going to sugar-coat this. Reversing climate change is one helluva challenge, but great challenges require great collective action, and this is what we are trying to catalyse. It’s our carbon, so it’s our problem. Thankfully, with trees, we have an overlooked but highly effective tool for reducing CO2.
Some super smart academics have concluded that reforestation and nature based solutions can provide a whopping 37% of emissions reductions needed by 2030 to help reverse global warming and limit the damage. In other words, trees are crucial in the fight against climate change.
If the whole population of the UK contributed $10 per month to tree planting, this could reduce global CO2 emissions by ~3.5%. If the whole population of the EU did the same, global CO2 emissions could fall by over 20%. Lots of small actions can make a HUGE difference!
