BG Trees Ltd

Balance your CO₂ emissions. Pay farmers to grow trees to absorb the equivalent amount of CO₂ that you use.

At BG Trees we organise peasant farmers in the Benishangul-Gumuz region of Ethiopia to grow and maintain trees. 

The carbon dioxide (CO₂) which is absorbed by these trees is sold as a product to balance the CO₂ we produce with our lifestyles. 

The trees directly balance the emissions by absorbing an equivalent amount of CO₂ and therefore make a contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gases and to the improvement of the environment.

Your CO₂ emissions

We are all aware that CO₂ is one of the greenhouse gases which scientists increasingly confirm contributes to climate change. 

Whilst we may take steps to reduce these emissions our lifestyles still depend on CO₂ emitting sources such as heating, cars, air and other transport.

With the assistance of BG Trees you can reduce your carbon footprint.

By buying CO₂ absorption from BG Trees you will:

• help reforest a region that has lost 30 per cent of its forest in the last 40 years;
• gain direct absorption for your CO₂ that is visible and verifiable; and
• assist farmers to help raise themselves out of poverty.

BG Trees commits to:

• acknowledge your payment by email;
• carry out an annual tree audit and provide a report on the BG Trees website.
