Our Program is based on planting sufficient tropical trees to neutralize
the carbon dioxide ("CO2") emissions of the average North American car.
$2,470 (USD) allows us to raise 250 tropical hardwood trees from seed.
At 6 months the seedlings leave the nursery and are planted in afforestation and reforestation areas, where
they are protected and maintained for 10 years.
Tropical trees are one of the best ways of removing and sequestering CO2
from the Earth's atmosphere.
Scientists state that CO2 sequestration by tropical
trees
is most effective in their first 10 years.
Our Program uses these calculations to help the
average consumer or fleet owner make their
vehicles carbon neutral.
Here is how it works:

We use fast growing tropical tree species
that
mature within 10 years.

Botanists agree that the average tropical tree removes
and absorbs
50 lbs (22.6 kg) of CO2 from the
atmosphere every year.
The Environmental Protection Agency("EPA") of the
United States estimates that the average North American car
emits 12,100 lbs (5,488 kg) of CO2 every year.
With these two numbers in hand it is easy to do the math.
12,100 LBS / 50 lbs = 242 TROPICAL TREES
OR
5,488 KG / 22.6 KG = 242 TROPICAL TREES
Every time a consumer purchases a windshield decal or
bumper sticker from us, we plant 250 tropical trees,
slightly more than needed to neutralize your car's
annual CO2 emissions.
You can either fund all 10 years
at once for $2,470.00
USD or you can agree to fund 25
trees a year for 10 years
for $297.00 per annual windshield
decal or bumper sticker.
The sticker tells the world that
you are actively taking steps to improve our air, combat
global warming and that your car is either fully carbon
neutral or well on its way to becoming carbon neutral.
