This Package is the perfect way to enjoy your favorite meals guilt-free while making a positive impact on the environment. With our innovative offseting tool you can now offset the carbon footprint associated with your food delivery and contribute to a greener future

How it Works?

Did you know that every time you use your car, computer or cell phone, you emit greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming? These gases accumulate in the atmosphere and alter the climate balance of our planet, causing droughts, floods, fires, and loss of biodiversity.With our offsetting tool, you can choose the package that best suits your lifestyle and budget, and we’ll take care of the rest.

How trees affect?

Trees are living organisms that perform a vital function for the planet: photosynthesi This process consists of absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and converting it into oxygen and organic matter. In this way, trees help reduce the concentration of CO2, one of the main greenhouse gases that cause global warming. In addition, trees store carbon in their wood, leaves and soil, preventing it from returning to the atmosphere.

What Does Offseting mean to Back To Forest?

We at Back To Forest are not satisfied with just “offsetting” our impact on the planet. We think that’s like saying “sorry” after stepping on someone’s toes. We want to do more than apologize, we want to make things better. That’s why we are passionate about planting trees, the most awesome creatures on earth. Trees are not only beautiful, they also provide oxygen, shade, habitat, food and many other benefits. Our offset toolkit lets you choose from different packages that suit your budget and preferences. Whether you want to plant a single tree or a whole forest, we make it easy, affordable, fun and effective. Join us today and let’s get Back to Forest!

Where do we plant trees?

We work with 2 reforestation projects in Madagascar and Tanzania.to plant many species of trees including mangroves that are one of the most efficient carbon sequestering trees in the world and planting them provides much more than a carbon impact for our planet.

The Math

Driving	0.91655 MT CO2
Meals	0.64825 MT CO2
Total	1.6644 MT CO2

Driving

The average car uses about 404 grams of CO2 per mile. To translate from miles to kilometres, we divide miles by 1.609, and simultaneously divide grams by 1.609. This means the average car uses about 251 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

(divide by1.609) 1: 404grams (divide by 1.609)

0.6214:251grams

In order to convert grams of CO2 into metric tons we use the conversion factor 0.000001

251 grams CO2 X 0.000001 = 0.000251 MT CO2

Let’s assume that the average distance of the restaurant you are ordering from is 5km, so 10km round trip. To get to the total amount of carbon per trip we will multiply 0.000251 MT CO2 by 10km. This means there will be a total of 0.00252 MT CO2 emitted per trip.

0.000251 x 10km = 0.00251 MT CO2

Let’s say someone orders food once per day over a year. We will multiply 0.00251 MT CO2 by 365 days. This would equal a total of 0.91615 MT over a year.

0.00251MT x 365 days = 0.91615 MT CO2

Meals

Chicken – 1.36kg CO2 per serving
Rice – 0.3315kg CO2 per serving
Potatoe – 0.0438kg CO2 per serving
Wine – 0.3123kg CO2 per serving

We are going to assume your meal includes one serving of chicken, rice, potatoes and one glass of one. In total one meal would emit 2.0776 kg CO2

1.36+ 0.3315 + 0.0438 + 0.3123 = 2.0476KG CO2 = 2.05kg CO2

In order change this number from kilograms CO2 to MT CO2 we must multiply 2.05kg by the conversion factor 0.001 and get 0.00205 MT CO2

2.05 x 0.001 = 0.00205 MT CO2

Assuming you are eating out everyday for one year, you would be eating 365 meals. In order to find the total CO2 emissions we will multiply 365 by 0.00205 MT CO2.

365 x 0.00205 MT = 0.74825 MT CO2
