To combat global warming we need more than speech. We need action. This is the commitment of the Bank's Corinthians and Cruzeiro do Sul. The project provides effective action against global warming in two directions:
Compensation and reduction of greenhouse gases
&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Socio-environmental education

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. GHG reduction and offset:
The whole world is mobilized to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. This reduction occurs through cleaner environmental practices such as selective waste collection, the use of recycled materials, reduced energy costs, transportation, etc.&nbsp;The Corinthians and Cruzeiro do Sul Bank are participating in workshops and seminars to learn about this issue and adopt such practices. Since the compensation is done by planting trees that sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Banco Cruzeiro do Sul is committed to plant 100 trees for every game and every goal over 100 of Timon.
"We are implementing the project Playing the Environment so that there is an awareness of all the environmental issue. Our goal is to promote awareness about the cause of the environment. The present concern is with future generations "Luis Octavio da Costa IndioCEO of Banco Cruzeiro do Sul

&nbsp;Where and how do the planting?&nbsp;Counting games, goals and carboneutralização, the project already has 18 200 trees in the summation. The seedlings are being planted in the Forest Reserve Corinthians - Banco Cruzeiro do Sul is estimated that this number will reach 26 000 by the end of 2010.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Socio-environmental education
