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 45 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! 

First cut your Carbon Footprint. Then donate to plant trees!  We also help businesses to 'go green' and 'be seen to be green.'  Ask for our e-book about making it easy for SME's to go Net Zero 

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

Why n0co2.org to plant your trees?

You choose! Remove your CO2 from £20 One-Time Donation or £15 per month. To remove ALL your fossil fuel for 1 person we need to plant 1,750 trees. We plant 1,750 trees for you for £20 a month, or a one-time donation of only £387!  

How much does it cost?

This is for you if you care about our beautiful planet, our children and our wildlife.   Because all this will be wrecked unless we cut our CO2

Why we need to stop global warming

MOST people are now concerned about Climate change.  We just need to reach out to them about N0CO2.  Will you share N0CO2  with your friends?  You can do it now: 

Share this with friends

We felt we MUST stop climate change from wrecking our planet. We set up N0CO2 to make it easy for people to do something about it.   N0CO2 is volunteer managed and professionally delivered. We spent our own time and money to set it up.   Think about the fossil fuels you buy.  Now Give Back for them.   That’s all it takes. Please do your bit.

N0CO2

Most people now agree that climate change is the greatest threat to ourselves, our families, our planet and our wildlife. Would you like to help us to do something about it?  

Awesome that you've read to here!

Eden Reforestation Projects are planting trees for us in 10 countries including Madagascar, Indonesia and Nepal. Eden reduces extreme poverty and restores healthy forests by employing local villagers to plant millions of trees every year. Eden has planted over 900 million trees and created over 9 million workdays. Eden is a GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency rated charity. 

In partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects 

Plant trees and you remove your CO2 footprint, create meaningful paid work, and help stop climate change.

Please remove your Carbon Footprint

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!

Stories from the people who plant trees for us

Planting Trees Transforms Lives!

Some progress in stopping global warming was achieved at COP26 in Glasgow.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, sadly, progress since then has been very poor.&nbsp;Instead of focussing on action to help all, many Governments have prioritised action to seek to grow their own economies or to protect citizens from cost of living increases.&nbsp;With World Leaders gathering for COP27, people are asking what do we want from COP27?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What is possible?&nbsp;&nbsp;Is 1.5C still alive?But people have seen what needs to be done and they haven’t done it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead, with us all facing catastrophic global warming – What are we willing to do to help?<h3>1.5C Max</h3>1.5C is still critically important.&nbsp;&nbsp;It needs to be the critical test for all policies and actionsDoes the action help to achieve 1.5C?&nbsp;&nbsp;if not, then the action needs to be reworked until it does<h3>Are Organisations doing what they said they’d do?</h3>Many actions were agreed at COP26 or previously.&nbsp;&nbsp;But are these actions happening?At COP27, it’s time to hold to account ALL organisations for what they have already agreed.Agreements such as to keep global warming “well below 2C” to cut the use of fossil fuels, to stop deforestation by 2030, to protect of 30% of land and seas by 2030, to cut methane by 30% by 2030 etc etc.Yes, we need solutions to the Economic Crisis, the Energy Crisis and the Cost of Living Crisis.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the smart opportunity is to make green solutions part of these.<h3>CHOOSE to stop Climate Change:</h3>7 years after the Paris Agreement, why is there still so little progress?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because instead of on track for 1.5C, the world is still on track for 2.7CWhy?&nbsp;&nbsp;Because the forces of vested interests, greed and self-interest are so strong.&nbsp;&nbsp;But together we can stop it. By focussing our campaigns at all levels: Government, Big Business, Small Business, and Individuals – people like us<h3>Simple Solutions for us all:</h3>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use less energy at home-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Travel consciously-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Eat more plant based meals-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hold Governments and organisations to account-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What we buy – support low environmental impact solutions-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Remove our Carbon Footprint by Planting trees – 250 trees removes around 1 Tonne of CO2 a year<h3>About n0co2.org</h3>n0co2.org to make it easy for people to take action to stop global warming by planting trees.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have planted over 1,500,000 trees&nbsp;🌳🌳🌳We also make it easy for small businesses to go Net Zero, with an easy-to-use template and inspirational message about the opportunity for businesses to be green and be seen to be green.&nbsp;&nbsp;Whether for business, Government, or to offset air travel, planting trees is still by far the lowest cost way to remove CO2 emissions. By incorporating Carbon Credits we are now creating solutions that deliver potentially high returns for Investors and life-transforming impact for local communities.n0co2.org is a project of the International NGO Saving Our planet&nbsp;<a href="http://www.savingourplanet.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">www.savingourplanet.net</a>

What are we willing to do to help?

What do we want from COP27?  

I planted 3,500 trees back in 2018 and these should remove around 14 Tonnes of CO2 for each year they’re growing.My trees cost under $2 per Tonne of CO2 removed.&nbsp;&nbsp;So why, in the MIT Technology Review should we pay $100 a tonne to remove CO2 by “greenhouse-gas sucking factories” and other tech solutions?It’s simple – we need both:✅&nbsp;We need to plant 1 trillion plus trees today because there's plenty of deforested land and the cost is low - around $2 per Tonne of CO2 removed.✅&nbsp;But we also need mechanical solutions to succeed too – because there is so much CO2 to be removed.&nbsp;&nbsp;✅&nbsp;Because “even if we get carbon dioxide emissions all the way down to zero, the world will not cool back down; it will just stop warming up. The only way to permanently reverse warming is through carbon removal.”&nbsp;✅&nbsp;And over time the price of planting trees will go up, and the cost of mechanically removing CO2 should come down.✅&nbsp;And anyway the social cost of carbon is at least $51 per Tonne of CO2.Of course we need to cut CO2 emissions first.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is useful: “as a simple rule of thumb, we should aim for a world where we reach net zero by cutting more than 90% of current emissions and removing less than 10%.”&nbsp;And of course: “We should also avoid dubious carbon offsets and credits that don’t reliably and permanently&nbsp;draw down greenhouse gas.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Isn’t that what the 3 trillion trees on our planet are already doing today?How many trees are needed to remove your Carbon Footprint?#sustainability #climatechange&nbsp;#globalwarming&nbsp;#smallbusiness #NetZero #n0co2<h3>Resources</h3><a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/07/05/1055322/we-need-to-draw-down-carbon-not-just-stop-emitting-it/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: purple;">https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/07/05/1055322/we-need-to-draw-down-carbon-not-just-stop-emitting-it/</a>Social Cost of Carbon is $51: <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/bpea-articles/the-social-cost-of-carbon/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: purple;">https://www.brookings.edu/bpea-articles/the-social-cost-of-carbon/</a>

<h2>Undersea CO2 Storage or planting trees?&nbsp;&nbsp;What’s best?</h2>A “licensing round is inviting bids for projects in 13 areas within the North Sea,” reports edie. “Plots of land are being offered off the coast in Aberdeen, Teesside, Liverpool and Lincolnshire.”“The chosen 13 areas are “a mixture of saline aquifers and depleted oil and gas field storage opportunities.””&nbsp;“The UK Government’s Ten-Point Plan, published in November 2020, envisions the creation of four industrial clusters utilizing CCS” (Carbon Capture and Storage).The “target is for the UK to capture at least 20 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2030.”20 million tonnes of CO2 is about 5% of UK annual CO2 emissionsTo remove 20 million tonnes of CO2 each year would require around 4 billion trees planted in the tropics<h2>Plant Trees or CCS?</h2>So, has the Government thought about planting trees as well as CCS?What we say is that the world is so far behind with stopping global warming that we need both CCS and to plant billions of trees.&nbsp;&nbsp;Planting trees is also much lower cost at only around $2 per Tonne of CO2&nbsp;<h2>What about the cost?</h2>This is a current CCS under-sea storage project: "The Northern Lights Project initially expects to transport up to 1.5 Mtpa CO2 captured from two industrial plants in Norway by ship to temporary onshore storage, after which it will be transported by offshore pipeline for permanent storage in geologic formations in the North Sea.""For the combined cost of transporting CO2 via ship for offshore storage, I used the low range of the most recent estimates from the Northern Lights Project of €30-55/tCO2 ($35 to $64/tCO2 USD)."&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;See&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://globalchange.mit.edu/sites/default/files/Smith-TPP-2021.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(242, 242, 242);" data-lf-fd-inspected-belvo73w1qb7zmqj="true">https://globalchange.mit.edu/sites/default/files/Smith-TPP-2021.pdf</a>Planting trees is much lower cost at about $2 per Tonne of CO2 for trees planted in the tropics.&nbsp;<h2>You can plant trees here:</h2>Remove 1 Tonne of CO2 EACH YEAR on average for 25 years by planting 270 trees for just £60.&nbsp;&nbsp;See&nbsp;<a href="https://n0co2.org/access" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://n0co2.org/access</a><h2>Resources</h2>Carbon Storage Licencing Round June 2022 <a href="https://www.edie.net/uk-government-launches-first-licensing-round-for-carbon-storage-projects/?utm_campaign=edie%20daily%20news%20alert&amp;utm_source=AdestraCampaign&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;utm+content=UK%20Government%20launches%20first%20licensing%20round%20for%20carbon%20storage%20projects" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.edie.net/uk-government-launches-first-licensing-round-for-carbon-storage-projects/?utm_campaign=edie%20daily%20news%20alert&amp;utm_source=AdestraCampaign&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;utm+content=UK%20Government%20launches%20first%20licensing%20round%20for%20carbon%20storage%20projects</a>Northern Lights Project:&nbsp;<a href="https://globalchange.mit.edu/sites/default/files/Smith-TPP-2021.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(242, 242, 242);" data-lf-fd-inspected-belvo73w1qb7zmqj="true">https://globalchange.mit.edu/sites/default/files/Smith-TPP-2021.pdf</a>What does n0co2.org do with your donation to plant trees?

"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>

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.

What’s been achieved by 22 February 2022?

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

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.
