At Alpine Elements we are working in association with Treeflights to help plant trees in order to withdraw carbon from the atmosphere.
When we travel in an aeroplane we use loads of aviation fuel. In a few hours we each burn up hundreds of litres of a non-renewable resource that it took the earth (and the sun) millions of years to make. On top of this we are producing a lot of CO2 which we all know is the main culprit for global warming.
There’s no way of avoiding it, flying is inherently environmentally destructive and we shouldn’t do any more of it than we have to. Planting a tree, on the other hand, is an ecologically constructive thing to do. Trees use the sun’s energy to absorb CO2, taking it out of the atmosphere (where it’s really harmful) and turning it into this wonderful, renewable material that we call wood. Trees encourage biodiversity and are also fantastic air purifiers.
The only problem with trees is that they take ages to grow. You have to understand, when you order a Treeflight that this is not a quick-fix and your flight will not suddenly become ‘carbon neutral’.
But the tree we plant for you will make a significant and positive difference, over time, to our atmosphere.
Cost
To plant a tree will cost £10 and you will be sent a confirmation voucher in return for your gesture.
