Climate change is one of the greatest current threats to our planet and our survival. One of the most effective ways to help fight climate change is by becoming carbon neutral. Reducing our carbon footprint is vital if the world, as we know it, is to survive. In 1950 global carbon emissions stood at 1.6 billion tonnes, fast forward to the year 2000 and we have seen a fourfold increase with emissions standing at 6.5 billion tonnes.
Deforestation generates more greenhouse gas emissions each year than all of the trains, planes and cars on the planet. If we are to successfully tackle global warming, we must find a way to reduce the 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions caused by forest destruction each year and to keep the remaining forests standing.
