Goal
"Biodiverse Carbon allows you to take action by offsetting the carbon emissions of your commute, holidays, shopping and eating habits, among other seemingly harmless elements of your daily routine." "The solution lies in one of the most effective nature-based technologies in the world: the Green Giants, large ancient trees that provide us with essential ecosystem services for life to prosper:
• Capturing carbon while producing oxygen;
• Removing pollutants from the air while cooling the ground with their shade;
• Preventing floods while helping to fill aquifers;
• Providing habitat for hundreds of living beings, such as birds, insects, plants and fungi.The solution lies in one of the most effective nature-based technologies in the world: the Green Giants, large ancient trees that provide us with essential ecosystem services for life to prosper:
