Offset part of the carbon emissions created from your delivery by contributing 50p, £1 or £2 towards a tree being planted for £2 with Trees4Good. One Jatropha plant "eats" carbon dioxide and gives out oxygen; this in turn offsets carbon emissions and helps the environment. amba nature will keep everyone informed about our trees and the good that is being done from our association with the programme via this website.
Climate change and poverty are major problems affecting the world today and are two of the most serious challenges the human race faces. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations we must reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases – primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) - by using the technology, know how and practical solutions that are already at our disposal.
One of the best solutions to counteract the production of CO2 is to plant trees. As you are no doubt aware, trees are nature’s solution to balancing the CO2 content in the atmosphere. Basically trees take in CO2 and give out oxygen and people take in oxygen and breathe out CO2. For millennia that balanced nicely – until the industrial revolution came along a couple of centuries ago and now things are no longer working quite so well. It's time for change. It's time to plant.
Trees4Good plant trees! But, more than that, they plant them in parts of the world where they provide both environmental and economic benefits. Their trees will help absorb CO2 while also helping to alleviate poverty in some of the poorest countries on earth. In addition these trees provide a clean burning inedible oil that can be used for bio fuels - an alternative to CO2 producing fossil fuels helping to provide a sustainable income that prevents further logging of the rainforest.
amba nature takes our impact on the environment very seriously and as a result, we are working towards becoming carbon neutral. By taking small little green steps and giving our customers the chance to put money towards the purchase of trees we are striving towards becoming Carbon Neutral….which is something we feel very strongly about.
We are working closely with the Trees4Good programme to identify other areas of our operations where we can reduce the company’s environmental impact.
