Welcome to the Oxygen
Shop!
Perhaps the greatest
threat to our planet in modern times is climate
change.The general warming of the environment is
attributed to mankind's emissions of carbon
dioxide, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels.
Each one of us is responsible to a greater or
lesser extent, depending on our individual
lifestyle.

Trees help combat the
changes by `breathing in' carbon dioxide in a
process called photosynthesis, and `breathing
out' oxygen. The more trees we have, the more
carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere,
and the more we help to combat the change by
compensating for the carbon dioxide we produce.
This is called `carbon offsetting'.
The Oxygen Shop
offers you an exciting opportunity to help. Here
you can assess your own carbon dioxide production
based on, for example, your car usage, or the
number of flights you take per year, and then
purchase trees which will absorb carbon dioxide
and produce oxygen for many years to come.
Perhaps you have been looking for a way to do
something? Maybe you have no room at home to
plant trees? Here is your solution.
We
plant the trees to create
new woodland and
look after them for you, but
you can visit us and plant the trees yourself if
you wish!
Play your
part with us to combat climate change!
We need to Act on CO2 now!
