16 Forests in and no signs of stopping!
Fantastic news! We’ve just agreed a deal to start work on our 16th forestry project in the UK. As you’ll no doubt know, we proudly offset 100% of our car and bike insurance customer’s CO2 emissions by planting trees, as well as any emissions generated by our recovery vehicles!
This process has seen us plant over 695,000 trees so far to date, with a further 635,000 to be planted in the first half of 2011.
The latest forestry project, Winterhope, will be home to around 135,000 trees to offset over 17,000 tonnes of CO2 in the Dumfries & Galloway area.
By next June we’ll have planted at least 1.3 million trees in the UK, covering an area more than three times the size of the City of London!
Fresh air in the Big Smoke: How London would look if we had our way.
We won’t be stopping at 16 forests either, there are plenty more places in the UK that we think could do with a sprinkling of green foliage! Check out the great work we’ve done so far by visiting our forestry project map.
