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!

So what next? What are you going to do to bring your company to a carbon neutral position? There are a few ways you can go about this, but the most interesting, unique, and worthwhile ways is a project in Ireland which aims to reforest the countryside of that wonderful country.

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.

Rooted in Ireland's oak planting project is situated in a beautiful part of Ireland, close the historic city of Armagh, and surrounded by rolling hills and mountain ranges!

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.

Although carbon emissions are a serious global issue, you can take pride in knowing you're helping the entire environment and bringing back that lovely emerald hue to the area best known for the "wearing of the green."

Fighting climate change can be a pleasurable battle to wage, especially if you help enrich a historic region whose history and people have made the world a richer place already! Give back in a big way, reduce your company's carbon footprint by planting memorial oak trees.
