Planting of 500 native fruit trees to offset carbon footprint

E-mail PDF

GreenDependent Association (GDA), the sister organisation of GreenDependent Institute has been planting native fruit trees for 10 years to offset carbon footprint of events, including the events of GreenDependent Institute (e.g. trainings, opening and closing events, workshops) and the events of other organisations and companies as well.

Fortunately, there seems to be a rising interest towards this climate-friendly activity. More and more organisations are taking responsibility to reduce their carbon emissions and offset their own carbon footprint. Therefore, as much as 500 native fruit trees will be planted this spring with the assistance of GDA! Most of the trees will be planted by households participating in the ENERGISE programme, by students in schools' orchards, and by participants of the E.ON EnergyNeighbourhoods Programme. For the first time, an energy company called ALTEO will actively participate in the planning; some of their colleagues will plant 28 trees together with students in some schools' garden.

The Earth Overshoot Day, the day we used this year’s natural resources that can be produced in a sustainable way, fell on 2 August in 2017.

Global Footprint Network launched a campaign called #movethedate to reverse the negative trend of overusing natural resources. Among others, GreenDependent Association also joined this campaign. The organisers invite conscious cosmopolitans to take at least one among the pledges available on the campaign's website and reduce their own ecological footprint.
