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!

Rooted in Ireland plants oak trees. You dedicate the trees to whomever you want, pay the dedication fee, and there is your carbon responsiblity taken care of. The fee you pay goes toward planting more trees, so ultimately everyone benefits from this project. Can you think of a more worthwhile way to offset your carbon footprint?

I am sure that you will be suprised to hear that the most treeless land in Europe is Ireland.

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!

Plant some trees, and offset your carbon footprint. Help bring back the natural beauty to Ireland’s landscape; visit Rooted in Ireland’s website today!
