Reduce your Carbon Footprint!

Want to reduce your carbon footprint and increase biodiversity? Traveling?  We encourage all steps toward sustainability, and offsetting the carbon emissions from your travel is one way to reduce your carbon footprint.  Rapidly rising temperatures are threatening our current and future world. Much of the warming is due to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a result of our lifestyle. Reducing travel in cars, avoiding long distance travel and adopting conservation-minded energy practices throughout your daily life is the best way for you to lower your impact on climate change.

Trees sequester carbon, and reforesting destroyed areas removes tons of carbon from the air. In partnership with the Fundacion Conservacionista Costarricense, we are reforesting pastures and changing them into carbon sequestering rain forests. You can help Bosque para Siempre, and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time!

How does it work?
Use an emissions calculator to determine the amount of carbon dioxide that you’ve generated through your travels. An estimated carbon offset is: Round trip airplane flight from Boston to Costa Rica (2500 miles each way) produces a ton of carbon. A tree will absorb approximately a half ton of carbon each year. So the round trip requires two trees to be planted.

Each donation of $5.00 will grow a tree seedling in our nursery in Bosque para Siempre, plant and maintain it for three years.
