Carbon Offsetting
You’ve gotten the company’s light bulbs changed to the more energy efficient types, started a recycling project for all those discarded newspapers, old faxes and photocopies and you’re always encouraging everyone to use public transportation or carpool to work. But still you know your company is contributing more carbon dioxide than you’re offsetting...
Your company is still not carbon neutral. Maybe your company has a long way to go before achieving a neutral carbon footprint, but we have a great and exciting new way that you can get even closer to achieving that amazing goal and help bring the green back to Ireland as you do it! All buildings in Ireland now require a Building Energy Certificate. What is a BER?
Multiple sources agree, for approximately every ton of carbon you or your company produces, it takes only two newly planted trees to offset that ton. If you are planning on selling or renting a house in te West, say Galway for instance, you are going to need a BER Company Galway. There are dozens of tree-planting organizations whose efforts will help you offset your carbon footprint, but there’s only one organization planting historic oak trees in County Armagh, Ireland, the same area where King Conmael once hunted and rode under the majestic oaks’ spreading branches. Those beautiful oaks, witnesses to so much history, were long ago cut down to feed the need for the shipbuilding industry.
Today, Ireland is the most treeless area in all of Europe.
Situated just outside Armagh, the Rooted in Ireland Memorial Oak Tree site overlooks the “city of saints and scholars,” the historic center of St. Patrick’s congregation and the burial place of great military leader and High King of Ulster, Brian Boru.
Imagine the satisfaction you can have knowing that you’re not only offsetting your company’s carbon footprint by having memorial oak trees planted through Rooted in Ireland, but you’re also bringing back an important part of the natural history to a proud and beautiful region through your donation.
For just under $100 you can offset approximately one-half ton of your carbon emissions through the planting of a single memorial oak tree at the Rooted in Ireland site. These trees will live complete lives where they are planted in Ireland. They will not be cut down, but will stand as living memorials to your dedication to stop global warming. To remind you of your company’s part in the fight to reduce carbon emissions, you will receive a certificate, a photograph of the site and a personalized letter. Your name will be entered into our ledger and as people visit, they will also be reminded of your contribution.
Although carbon emissions are a serious global issue, you can take pride in knowing you’re helping the entire environment and bringing back that lovely emerald hue to the area best known for the “wearing of the green.
