Do you know that every site create carbon footprints especially those that have high visitors hit. Now, a blog of 15,000 visits a month has a yearly carbon dioxide emissions of 8lb. One way to neutralize it is to plant more trees and this company is doing just that. Offering site owners a chance to plant trees. Their idea is to show possibilities to make a contribution to protect the environment.
And how do they actually neutralize site’s carbon footprint? They are planting trees in cooperation with the Arbor Day Foundation in Plumas National Forest in Northern California for our project to neutralize the carbon footprint of blogs/sites. Thousands of wildfires burned down many national forests over the past ten years and 88.000 acres of Plumas’ were destroyed by two fires in 2007. To help replanting, they need the support of bloggers all over the world! For every participating blog they plant a tree. One blog – one tree.
You may ask why they do that. They are a German based company called kaufDA, which provides advertisement brochures of local stores online to help consumers search for specific products and find good deals in their neighborhood. This reduces the amount of brochures printed and so the project helps the environment by reducing unnecessary paper in mailboxes. An American on average receives 41 pounds of junk mail per year. This has the same carbon footprint as burning six gallons of gasoline.
