When you buy a tree we will replant the tree 3 times after harvesting. Together, we will then plant a purchased tree 4 times over a period of 80 years. You then contribute to a continuous capture of CO2 throughout this period.
When you donate a tree, it will be harvested after 20 years. You will then be given the option to donate the purchase amount to a charity. With this, you both contribute to a better environment as well contributes to supporting a charity.
