Offset your carbon footprint in the best way possible!

Encouraging your workmates to recycle, catch public transport to work, and use energy efficient lightbulbs while admirable, is unlikely to be enough to offset your company's carbon footprint!

Your place of work has still got a long way to go until it reaches ultimate carbon neutrality. So you ask yourself - how else can we go about achieving this lofty of goals? Well thankfully, there is a great way to do this which also helps with reforestation in Ireland at the same time!

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. 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.

Did you know that Ireland has the least percentage of trees of any country in 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.

It is such a good thing to offset your carbon footprint in any way that you wish! However, knowing that you are helping bring back trees to the landscape of magical, mystical Ireland has to be worth a little extra!
