Why trees? Because trees have been quietly offsetting these carbon emissions for centuries, converting carbon dioxide into the oxygen we need for life.
Carbon Footprint Offset...
- Each year, the average Kenyan consumer adds 0.33 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
- These carbon emissions come mainly from our food, transportation, and homes. So, how do you compare to this average?
- We will use a carbon footprint calculator to help individuals and corporates to estimate their carbon emissions and the number of trees they need to grow to offset their carbon footprint.
- Why trees? Because trees have been quietly offsetting these carbon emissions for centuries, converting carbon dioxide into the oxygen we need for life.
- It takes about 6 trees to offset one tonne of CO2, with each tree absorbing about 0.16 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. This means every Kenyan need to plant 3 trees every year to offset their annual carbon footprint.
- We will make it easy for Kenyans to plant fruit trees to offset their carbon footprint through the use of Shortcodes and Mpesa.
