Chestnut Carpentry commit to help tackle the climate crisis

Chestnut Carpentry recognise that whilst we use sustainable sources for our timber and timber based products we use a significant amount and wanted to do more to offset our impact on the environment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are proud to be part of the Ecologi community how contributing monthly to help fund the planting of new trees locally and globally and projects to reduce carbon.

 

Ecologi work in two key areas:

1. Tree planting

It’s now common knowledge that one of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C is to plant trees. They are also crucial to preventing ecological collapse.

Ecologi’s tree planting partner The Eden Reforestation Projects plant millions of trees around the world each month. They are currently supporting their incredible work in Madagascar.

2. Cardon Reduction

Ecologi invest money into projects that remove more greenhouse gasses than your own carbon footprint puts in.  Each month they support a range of carbon reduction projects that are certified at the very highest level by Gold Standard and equivalent.

 

How Chestnut Carpentry are helping the environment

In our first month, we have already made an impact and in our first month have planted 30 trees and we have the certificate to prove it!  You can also see our contribution and details of the projects we are supporting here.
