Treeflights.com - Fly With Me And Plant A Tree Treeflights.com, launched last month, is a new scheme that gives people an easy way to offset the CO2 released when they fly. It's based on a really simple idea. One tree is planted per passenger flight and as it grows it gradually re-absorbs the CO2 produced in the flight. Cardiff, Wales (PRWEB) August 26, 2006 -- Treeflights is based in Mid-Wales where they have three forest planting sites, high up in the Cambrian Mountains. Airline passengers use the service fom all over the world and choose their own tree from 8 Broadleaved species, including Oak, Beech, Cherry and Willow. In time these forests, which anyone can visit, will become a haven for birds and other wildlife.
Treeflights Director, Ru Hartwell, says, "My little boy is 2 years old. I don't want him to be living on the surface of Venus when he's my age. Luckily, trees eat CO2 for breakfast and I've got 15,000 ready to go."
With 8 billion individual flights last year, more CO2 in the atmosphere now than for 650,000 years and an annual de-forestation rate of 20 million acres, perhaps this project is overdue?
