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

Total

4.024 MT CO2

Long Showers

Assuming that the average person showers an extra 7 minutes everyday over seven years. Every minute of showering uses 0.45 CO2 lbs. This means that an extra 7 minutes of showering would emit 3.15 CO2 lbs. 0.45 CO2 lbs per minute x 7 = 3.15 CO2 LBS. Assuming a person showers an extra 7 minutes everyday, we multiply 3.15 CO2 lbs by 365 to see the amount of CO2 per year. 3.15 CO2 lbs x 365 = 1,149.75 CO2 lbs per monthTo change from CO2 lbs to metric tons we multiply 1,149.75 CO2 lbs by the conversion factor .0005. This gives us 0.5748 metric tons per year. 1,149.75 CO2 lbs x 0.0005 = 0.574875 metric tons per year.This means over 7 years the average person would emit 0.574875 metric tons per year x 7 years = 4.024 MT CO2
