The climate change effects us all.
Today the amount of carbon dumped globally into the atmosphere corresponds, on average, to one ton per person on the planet, each year.
It is time to react.

How trees can help keeping the environmental balance.
Plantation in Africa
To combat this rise in CO2, environmentalists emphasize the importance of trees. Because trees absorb CO2 as part of photosynthesis, they can capture some of the greenhouse gases released by cars and industrial plants and thus help combat climate change. It is estimated that the world’s forests capture as much as 638 billion tons of carbon each year. This is stored in biomass – trunks, branches, foliage roots, etc. – and in soil.
Environmentalists thus warn of the dangers of deforestation.
Not only does it eliminate CO2 absorbers, the cutting and burning of trees actually releases stored carbon into the atmosphere. Experts say that deforestation accounts for at least 20 percent of annual global carbon emissions. Looking beyond our carbon footprint, conservationists also point to the devastating impact of deforestation on local ecosystems. By eroding natural resources, it accelerates the extinction of endangered species and threatens biodiversity.
Social work in Africa is still needed.
Win-win situation.
We specialise in transforming your carbon offset investment into a local asset that helps fight climate change in a sustainable way.
In addition, your investment helps provide much-needed local employment, allowing workers to feed their families and send their children to school. At GreenLife, we make sure all our projects are powered exclusively by local workers.
