There are two main reasons why we plant trees further away instead of doing so locally.
- There is scientific evidence that planting trees nearer The Equator is the most effective in combating climate change since it has the greatest cooling effect on the planet.
- Planting trees locally is also more expensive and facing a climate emergency, we chose to plant more trees, even if that meant further away.
However, we are still exploring the possibilities of planting trees more locally.
