Carbon Offset Tree Planting
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to the significant fall in the value of the £ sterling in September 2022, we have had to raise the cost of our tree sponsorship to £18 for 36 trees (50p/tree) from the previous £12. We hope our sponsors will appreciate our scheme still represents
exceptional value for money for carbon sequestration.

Plant Mvule – small costs – big benefits
Donate £18 to plant 36 tropical hardwood trees!
The UK government calculates your carbon footprint using the "Production method". This means that they only calculate your footprint for activities in the UK (6 tonnes per adult). But half of your carbon footprint includes manufacturing and supply chains from overseas. Therefore we use the "Consumption method" to calculate the average UK adult's carbon footprint (8-12 tonnes) to ensure your FULL carbon footprint is accounted for.
We plant "lots" of 36 tropical hardwood trees to offset the average carbon footprint of a UK adult. One lot costs £18 and you can purchase one or multiple lots by choosing your quantity before pressing "Buy Now".

All sponsors of the Mvule Project for Carbon Capture receive a digital certificate showing number of trees planted.

Set up a SO and be an eco-warrior for as little as £1.50 per month. |
We calculate your organisation's carbon emissions and quote you a price for carbon offsetting. |
One Mvule tree can offset 40 tonnes CO2 over a minimum of 80 years – over 4 times more carbon capture than an oak tree of similar age. The average UK carbon footprint is about 10 tonnes CO2 per annum. Your 36 trees will capture >7t/CO2/pa. Over 20 years they will capture >146t/CO2/pa. Click here for table of CO2 calculations |
For the average individual £18 pa will allow sponsors to be more than carbon neutral - to be also carbon negative. Simply send an email to our Honorary Secretary: christinaelgie@hotmail.com to receive our bank details. |
We work with a broad range of businesses and institutions helping them to become carbon neutral and carbon negative. Contact us for a calculation and quote. See our institution and business sponsors |
Over the lifetime of the 36 trees some 487t/CO2 will be captured after allowing for 20% mortality rate. |
We are happy to advise on your carbon footprint and what level of contribution would allow you to be carbon negative. |
Our carbon capture calculations are based on the current scientific evidence. For full details see our carbon capture project page. |
