 Even at its sharpest, cutting-edge technology can’t stop emissions altogether. That’s where Forest Carbon steps in, putting British landowners and eco-aware businesses together in schemes that restore native trees to the landscape and fresh air to the environment.
Trees aren’t just pollutant-scrubbers, mopping up the dust and fumes of modern life: managed properly they’ll eat CO2 and lock down the carbon forever. Forest Carbon schemes follow the Kyoto Protocol principles of ‘additionality’ and ‘permanence’, meaning clients can be sure the carbon removed by their trees will stay removed. To be on the safe side the measuring tool Forest Carbon has developed is super conservative, i.e. if you’ve paid for 1 000 tonnes of carbon, you will in fact have sequestered more like 2 500 tonnes.
It’s all about compensating nature for the unavoidable collateral damage that commerce and industry does: Forest Carbon has low-carbon clients who already run low-emissions fleets but who want to feel they’re fully cleaning up after themselves. To restore to our hills their rightful cloak of mixed-species trees is to enhance the landscape, promote biodiversity, preserve water sources and create new recreational spaces for present and future generations.
Forest Carbon clients are as eco-responsible as it gets. For further information visit www.forest-carbon.co.uk |
