Our little forest will grow as we do. But why do this?For every new email subscriber, we plant a tree. Well, actually you plant your own tree, in our Empower Agency forest. Without even getting your hands dirty.In a bid to offset our CO2, we partnered with our mates at Ecologi to support their forestry efforts.To offset the CO2 emissions produced during the delivery of our work with you.CO2 emissions hugely contribute to climate change. Trees have a critical job to balance oxygen and CO2 levels.With deforestation across the world more CO2 is released into the atmosphere causing devastating effects on our planet.We accept our responsibility to work towards offsetting our emissions.

Fighting Climate ChangeEcologi’s mission is to fight Climate Change and Deforestation.They facilitate tree planting projects all around the world, although their main focus is on the tropic region. Trees there grow much faster so they capture CO2 faster.This is also where heavy deforestation is happening and also where 85% of our terrestrial biodiversity is threatened, with many species on the brink of extinction.They have made the experience of planting a tree super easy and fun so that more and more people join the cause to reforest the world.After virtually planting your tree, you are able to find all the information regarding the real tree: the species details, its location and a link to the tree certificate.
