Are you worried about global warming? How can you help?  n0co2.org makes it easy by planting trees. Because trees can remove ALL your CO2 emissions.

Worried about Climate Change? How you can do something about it 

Burning coal oil and gas creates CO2 which causes global warming. Now you can do something about it.  Plant trees!  Because trees remove your CO2 footprint.  We make it easy by planting trees for you 

What causes global warming?   80% is caused by fossil fuels we use: petrol, diesel, gas and air travel 

We remove your CO2 by planting trees

For every £10 we will plant 90 trees. Act now and you can do your bit to stop heat, drought, flooding and sea level rise from wrecking life on Earth for our children and grandchildren - and for our wildlife too

What can you do?  Plant enough trees to remove ALL your CO2 footprint! 

We help businesses to go green and be seen to be green

For Families and Businesses

First cut as much of your CO2 emissions as you can.  This means cutting CO2 by using less fossil fuels: less petrol, diesel, air travel, less gas for central heating, and less electricity - unless yours is 100% from renewables

Where we plant trees, this provides meaningful paid work which reduces extreme poverty and transforms lives. Planting trees also and restores healthy forests for animals and bird life.

What are benefits of planting trees?

Low cost per tree. Provides paid work for families in extreme poverty.  And creates new habitats for wild animals and birds

Our Motivation

I think about a young person in the 2050’s.  In the middle of massive climate breakdown.  A World of rising sea levels, failing crops, food shortages, conflict over land, and millions of climate refugees. What on earth were you doing in 2022 to let this happen?  What did you do to help stop climate change?

My children are aged 18 to 23.  What motivates me is the thought that climate change could damage the planet and the future not just of my children, but of EVERYONE across the whole world aged under 30. We could have named N0CO2 No kicking the can down the road!

"Shoppers want to buy more sustainably,” says Internet Retailing “but there are suggestions that they may not be able to afford to do so in a cost-of-living crisis.”This latest research from Accenture:✅&nbsp;“More shoppers (64%) are concerned about the outlook for the environment than are concerned about their own financial situation (54%), their health (40%) or the health of others (47%)”✅&nbsp;“Two-thirds (63%) of UK shoppers say they are buying secondhand, recycled and refurbished products or are upcycling their existing items more than they did two years ago. That’s higher among those facing budget pressures (67% vs 56%). Some 38% said that they were regifting or taking more items to charity shops than before the pandemic.”✅&nbsp;&nbsp;“Our research shows that, not only do brands have a responsibility to enable customers to consume more sustainably,” said Oliver Grange, consumer goods strategy and consulting lead for Accenture in the UK and Ireland, “there is a significant commercial opportunity for those that do so.”Is your business ready to show you have become more sustainable?&nbsp;N0CO2 - helping businesses be green and be seen to be green.&nbsp;Source: <a href="https://internetretailing.net/sustainability/sustainability/earth-day-what-the-latest-research-says-about-shoppers-attitudes-to-sustainability-24717" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: purple;">https://internetretailing.net/sustainability/sustainability/earth-day-what-the-latest-research-says-about-shoppers-attitudes-to-sustainability-24717</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=sustainability&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6925333972449165313" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: var(--color-text-link-visited); background-color: var(--artdeco-reset-link-background-color-transparent);">#sustainability</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=smallbusinessowner&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6925333972449165313" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: var(--color-text-link-visited); background-color: var(--artdeco-reset-link-background-color-transparent);">#smallbusinessowner</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=smallbusiness&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6925333972449165313" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: var(--color-text-link-visited); background-color: var(--artdeco-reset-link-background-color-transparent);">#smallbusiness</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=netzero&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6925333972449165313" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: var(--color-text-link-visited); background-color: var(--artdeco-reset-link-background-color-transparent);">#NetZero</a>

Earth Day is a focus of action to protect and restore our planet.2021 saw huge wake-up calls about our planet, with huge fires and floods.&nbsp;&nbsp;And the UN called global warming a “code red for humanity.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Earth Day 2022 “is the moment to change it all.”&nbsp;“Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to&nbsp;preserve and protect our health, our families,&nbsp;our livelihoods…&nbsp;together, we&nbsp;must&nbsp;Invest In Our Planet. Because a&nbsp;green&nbsp;future is a&nbsp;prosperous&nbsp;future.”With the help from our generous donors, we have been investing in our planet for the last 4 years.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have been able to fund the growth of forests around the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have planted 599,000 trees.Particularly important to me is that every 100 trees creates a day of paid work for families who were living in extreme poverty.&nbsp;&nbsp;So our generous donors have also provided nearly 6,000 days of fair-wage employment.Cost of trees to increase 50%Today we plant 9 trees for £1. But the cost of planting trees is to go up by 50% from 1 May 2022, which will go towards faster expansion and higher wages.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, if you want to maximise the number of trees we would encourage you to plant as many trees as you can now – for Earth Day.Please donate now at&nbsp;<a href="https://n0co2.org/access" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://n0co2.org/access</a>If you have made a one-time donation before, please use the section: Second Donation.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you find any problems with donating, please contact me and I will send you the bank details so you can donate direct to our Bank Account.We will be pleased to provide a Gift Certificate for all donations of £50 and over.

World Wildlife Day - 3rd March 2022

COP26 made just a Small Step.&nbsp;&nbsp;Much was kicked down the road to COP27 in Egypt in November 2022 in Egypt.It’s “time to go into emergency mode” said António Guterres, UN Secretary-General about the outcome of COP26.&nbsp;&nbsp;“We are in the fight of our lives.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Is this what we see?&nbsp;&nbsp;Sadly no.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead, we need to take URGENT action:&nbsp;💥&nbsp;To cut use of fossil fuels💥&nbsp;To stop deforestation💥&nbsp;To plant a trillion more trees💥&nbsp;It’s up to us to take action ourselvesThe key aim of COP26 was to keep 1.5 degrees within reach.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead, World Policies and Actions put us on track today for between 2C and 3.6C of global warming according to Climate Action Tracker.The UK Climate Change Committee is to focus on Business - and so are we.&nbsp;✅&nbsp;“The lion’s share of progress will be made by the private sector, led by Government,” says CCC chief executive Chris Stark in a blog Post.✅&nbsp;Key now is for businesses to go Net Zero.&nbsp;&nbsp;And for Consumers to do their bit – by buying green and demanding that the businesses they buy from go green too.We can help both:✅&nbsp;n0co2 helps businesses to cut and remove their CO2 emissions✅&nbsp;We also make it easy for people to take action by planting trees.&nbsp;&nbsp;Plant enough trees and you can remove all your carbon footprint!Call me to find out how we can help your business 07803 544689&nbsp;RESOURCESUK Climate Change Committee Chief Executive Chris Stark Posts about focuses on “doubling down on climate delivery in 2022”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theccc.org.uk/2022/01/12/doubling-down-on-climate-delivery-in-2022/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://www.theccc.org.uk/2022/01/12/doubling-down-on-climate-delivery-in-2022/</a>Climate Action Tracker:&nbsp;<a href="https://climateactiontracker.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://climateactiontracker.org</a>Climate Change Executive Secretary, Patricia Espinosa, outlined four key achievements made at this month’s UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in Glasgow, which represent “significant progress” in global efforts to tackle climate change:&nbsp;<a href="https://unfccc.int/news/4-key-achievements-of-cop26" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://unfccc.int/news/4-key-achievements-of-cop26</a>What the UK Government needs to do.

100 Days After COP26 

Analysis, recriminations and blame about COP26 will go on for weeksDo you want 1.5C Max?&nbsp;&nbsp;Then you will be disappointed.Because the Glasgow Pact “resolves&nbsp;to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C.”&nbsp;&nbsp;So 1.5C is “kept alive” but only just.&nbsp;To achieve commitment to 1.5C, the world is now reliant on negotiation at future meetings starting at COP27 in 2022 in Egypt.Unless there are additional and stronger commitments, the “optimistic scenario” – is at best 1.8 ̊C according to the respected Climate Action Tracker. “Glasgow has a massive credibility, action and commitment gap as the world is heading to at least 2.4 ̊C of warming, if not more.”It’s “time to go into emergency mode” was the response&nbsp;of António Guterres, UN Secretary-General.&nbsp;&nbsp;“We are in the fight of our lives.”&nbsp;&nbsp;COP26 President Alok Sharma re-committed himself to 1.5C in the run up to the next COP27 in Egypt in November 2022: “The UK’s work as the Cop26 presidency is really only just beginning,” says Alok Sharma in the Guardian.“The 1.5C limit lives. We brought it back from the brink. But its pulse remains weak. We must steer it to safety by ensuring countries deliver on the promises they have made, and on the expectations set out in this pact to increase climate ambition to 2030 and beyond.”And if like me you still want 1.5 Max?&nbsp;&nbsp;Then our campaign for 1.5C must continue through to COP27 in Egypt – only better and stronger.And planting trees still has the potential to remove 1 Gigatonne of CO2 emissions for every year the trees are growing – which is about 2% of global emissions.Connect with me on LinkedIn now so we can work together for 1.5C.Charles Appleby, Founder n0co2.org

COP26: A Small Step

What was your reaction to the UN report on 8 October 2018, which warned that global warming MUST be kept to a maximum of only 1.5C?Were you pleased that climate change is at last being taken seriously?&nbsp;Or were you filled with dread at the consequences because you fear we will fail?&nbsp;Or do you feel that we will never get there, so let’s carry on as usual and not worry about the consequences for the future of our children, our planet and our wildlife?Well, for all of us who DO NOT want to see our planet wrecked, there’s something new that gives hope.&nbsp;N0CO2 is an easy way for everyone to do something about climate change.Everyone can now do their bit to support the UN IPCC recommendation to keep global warming to 1.5C maximum.N0CO2 enables us to remove the CO2 emissions we create by planting trees.N0CO2 plants trees for you. What’s new is that by planting enough trees, you can remove ALL your CO2 footprint. In this way you – personally – go Carbon Neutral.This is for anyone who cares about our planet and our future. Planting trees has a triple benefit: it removes CO2 footprint from the atmosphere; also, where N0CO2 plants trees it provides meaningful paid work for people in extreme poverty, which transforms their lives. In addition, tree-planting by N0CO2 restores healthy natural forests, which sustain animal and bird life.It’s unthinkable we allow climate change to wreck our planet. Isn’t it?&nbsp;With N0CO2 anyone can now do our bit to stop global warming.
