How does planting trees help fight climate change?

Trees absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and store carbon in their wood, leaves, and roots. Each tree we plant captures approximately 22kg of CO₂ per year. By planting thousands of trees, we create carbon sinks that help reduce greenhouse gases and combat global warming.

Why plant trees in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is ideal for reforestation because: 1) Tropical climate allows year-round growth, 2) Native species grow faster and capture more CO₂, 3) Rich biodiversity benefits from habitat restoration, 4) The country has strong environmental protection laws, and 5) Strategic location helps restore Central American biological corridors.

How much CO₂ does one tree capture?

On average, each tree planted by Green Planet Today captures approximately 22kg (48 lbs) of CO₂ per year. Over a 40-year lifespan, a single tree can absorb nearly 1 ton of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

What is the impact of deforestation on climate change?

Deforestation is responsible for approximately 10-15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. When forests are destroyed, they release stored carbon into the atmosphere and eliminate future carbon absorption capacity. This accelerates climate change, destroys biodiversity, and disrupts water cycles.

Can I offset my carbon footprint by planting trees?

Yes! The average person produces about 4 tons of CO₂ per year. By planting approximately 180 trees through Green Planet Today, you can offset your annual carbon footprint. For just $5.99 per tree, you can take meaningful climate action and contribute to rainforest restoration.

What types of trees do you plant?

We plant native Costa Rican species including Ceiba, Guanacaste, Cedro, Almendro, and other indigenous trees. Native species are crucial because they support local wildlife, require less maintenance, are more resistant to local pests, and integrate naturally into the existing ecosystem.

How does reforestation help biodiversity?

Reforestation restores habitats for countless species. Costa Rica hosts 5% of world biodiversity despite being only 0.03% of Earth's surface. By planting native trees, we create corridors for wildlife, provide food and shelter for endangered species, and restore the complex ecosystem interactions that tropical rainforests depend on.
