| Planting trees in someone’s
honor is the perfect gift for any occasion. Holidays, Birthdays, Weddings
or Funerals – we offer a gift that is appropriate for all occasions.
The Global Cooling™ Center features books and certificates that
make great gifts for environmentally-minded individuals. |
| |
| Our two most popular gifts are the
Global Cooling Certificate (400
trees) and the Tree Planting Certificate
(450 trees), both of which can be ordered immediately online. You
can even specify which program you would like to support. |
| |
| We also offer the Plant
a Grove Certificate and the Adopt-A-Village
Certificate, which allow you to become further involved in the
environmental conservation of a developing community. |
| |
| You can order any of these certificates
online, over the phone 1-800-643-0001, or by printing out this
form and mailing it in. |

| |
| The Problem: |
| The use of fossil fuels is growing fast and increasingly
polluting the global atmosphere with “greenhouse gases”
that threaten all of us with global warming. The most important of
these gases is carbon dioxide (CO2), which our cars emit. The more
gas a vehicle uses, the more CO2 it emits. The typical American car
is driven 11,000 miles in a year and emits its own weight in carbon
as CO2. |
| |
| The Answer: |
| Through photosynthesis, trees take CO2 out of
the air, replacing it with life-giving oxygen. Our program helps people
plant trees on the world’s most barren, devastated lands. Each
of these fast-growing, beneficial, permanent trees takes about 50
lbs. of CO2 from the atmosphere each year. |
| |
| Planting trees is the most cost-effective way
to take CO2 out of the atmosphere. Our international tree planting
projects plant trees at an average cost of ten cents ($.10) per tree.
|
| |
| For $40.00, you can purchase a "COOL CAR"
certificate planting more than 400 trees in a developing country -
enough trees to sequester all the carbon emissions of your car - and
keep doing it year after year making your car a Global Cooling Vehicle. |
| |
| The Trees for Travel™
Program |
| |
| A typical jet emits approximately 1 pound of CO2
for every passenger-mile it flies. Over 2000 miles (3200 km), the
plane emits one ton of carbon dioxide per passenger. |
| |
| A roundtrip from New York to Los Angeles creates
about 3 tons of carbon dioxide per passenger. |
| |
| A round trip from Rome to New York creates about
4 tons of carbon dioxide per passenger. |
| |
| The most cost-effective way to meet the threat
of global climate change is by restoring tree cover to the world's
barren lands. Our 16-year-old program is helping thousands of villages
to plant millions of trees. |
| |
| Each tree planted in the humid tropics absorbs
50 pounds (22 kg) of carbon dioxide every year for at least 40 years
- each tree will absorb 1 ton of CO2 over its lifetime! |
| |
| Because communities in developing countries join
our tree planting program voluntarily to protect their soil, groundwater,
and way of life, we are able to plant beneficial trees at a total
cost of about ten cents ($.10) per tree. |
| |
| So that you can travel without damaging the atmosphere
by planting more than the required number of trees, we offer planting
certificates in denominations of $1.00 and $40.00. |
