The fact is planting trees alone will not halt climate change. However, 'green' spaces will play a vital role in engaging, educating and inspiring people to conduct their lives a little better.
Only by reducing our carbon emissions now will we see positive change to future climate patterns and that process must start with education.
As a charity, 75% of your donation will be spent on trees, land and education. This means working with schools and other community groups and making offsetting both tangible and visible.
Terms governing use of 'the c-change trust' website and the making of donations to the company for the purposes of carbon offsetting.
When a donor makes a payment to offset their CO2 emissions, the c change trust will add those CO2 emissions to its liabilities (of trees to be planted in mitigation) and will fund projects on the donor’s behalf that will create community woodlands to offset the CO2
We are not selling trees to you, nor do you own the trees that we plant for you or the land on which the trees are planted. The donor will not receive title to the ‘emissions reductions’ achieved by any of the c-change trust’s emission reduction projects. You are making a no-strings donation on the understanding that by donating to the c-change trust you are helping to build community and offset woodlands for public benefit in the U.K. and fund our educational objectives.
We arrive at your recommended donation based upon a measurement of your carbon footprint. The figures we use for this purpose are worked out using the industry standard CO2 emissions framework calculations described by DEFRA.
The c-change trust takes no responsibility for any errors and omissions made by donors when entering their data into the c-change trust web calculators. See “Refunds”, below, for details of our erroneous donation returns policy.
