🌳🌏 Your trees' impact

  1. How do you calculate the impact of the trees?

A tropical tree absorbs 50 pounds of atmospheric Carbon Dioxide per year. This is a weighted average because trees have low CO2 absorbing capacity in their early years, peaking as they gain maturity and then slowing down as they grow older. The CO2 created is four times the CO2 sequestration number, and we plant 1000 trees per hectare as a general reforestation best practice (based on information compiled by Trees for the Future & ThoughtCo). 
Concerning hours created, it takes 68 hours for 1 person to create 10000 tree seedlings. Then approximately 1 hour per day to maintain every 1000 seedlings. For tree kits, it takes our Tree expert 8 hours to prepare 1000 kits with locally sourced seeds. Growing this forest also has a branching impact on the environment. For every 10,000 trees planted at least double that will germinate naturally within 5 years providing for generations to come. This is a global average based on the lifetime of a tree surviving 80+ years in the Boreal Forest region.
