While we love our furry friends dearly, we must recognize that we need to care for the planet with the same devotion. This package assumes that your feline companion, canine pal, equine ally, or even your tiny hamster will live for about 12 years. It also assumes that the main source of carbon emissions from pets comes from the food we feed them. Our world is a magnificent thing that deserves to be protected for generations to come.

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

8.4 MT CO2

Calculation

On average pet food emmits 700kg of CO2 every year. On average a dog lives 10-13 years so for example we will use an average of 12 years. 12 years x 700kg = 8,400kg CO2 To go from kg to metric tons we use a conversion factor of 0.001 and multiply it by 8400kg, this equals 8.4 metric tons. 0.001 x 8400 kg CO2 = 8.4 metric tons over lifetime
