Insulation helps reduce energy consumption, makes indoors comfortable and reduces your carbon footprint. Another more prominent way to reduce your carbon offset is by planting trees. Trees are important for the environment. They absorb carbon dioxide and help to reduce global warming. Trees help sustain life on this planet and help tackle climate change. They provide habitats for wildlife, improve air quality, and reduce noise pollution.

Here at Buy Insulation online, we plant a tree for every order, no matter how small the order is. We work with Ecologi, our planting partners who conduct this unique work, for all of us. So far, we have planted over 1000+ trees and wish to create a greater impact with your help.

Here, we try and answer some questions you may have regarding our planting works with Ecologi:

Does buy insulation online plant a tree for every order?

Yes, we do. Once your order is delivered or completed, an automatic input system allows notifying Ecologi of your purchase. A seed is sown for your order in any area in the world, where Ecologi’s planting projects are being conducted at the given time. 

As proof, we send out an email to you with a link to where your tree is planted. If you follow the link, you will know more about the plant species and its location.

How are the plant species chosen?

The plant species are chosen after thorough research. Among the very many plant species available, priority is always given to species that soak up or absorb more carbon. Mangroves top the list of the most planted saplings by Ecologi, basically because Mangroves take carbon at a much higher rate than any other type of terrestrial ecosystem. 

Mangroves are known for their massive root networks that may store a significant quantity of carbon. Their location on coastal wetlands implies that all this carbon is less prone to damage by natural hazards such as wildfires. Mangroves also provide a range of ecosystem services, including sediment management, fisheries and fibre production. If your tree gets planted in Madagascar, it will more likely be a mangrove.

Who looks after my plant?

Once the seed is sown, the local workforce at Ecologi ensures that they have the best chance of survival. The locals in the area are employed to care for the plants. They sow the seeds and nurture them into strong, lively trees that eventually grow and offset your carbon. Because an economic incentive is given to the local workers, they care for the trees as their own. 

The employees get fair wages, plus they also get to reap the benefits from the trees. Apart from mangroves, roughly 10% of the trees planted provide food or fodder. So, in a way, you not only plant a tree, but you also provide employment opportunities to the local community. Not just that, your tree helps maintain the ecosystem and sustain life in the area. 

Does one tree make a difference?

Yes, it does. Every tree planted creates an impact and offsets carbon. Plus, the more you purchase insulation online with us, the more you plant and create a greater impact.

How do you ensure the plants survive?

With the help of the workforce employed, the planting partners at Ecologi can achieve a survival rate of roughly 80-85 per cent on our mass restoration sites.

However, each project is unique, and the survival rate depends on a variety of elements such as location, species, local conditions, and working terms.

How do you ensure that my tree is not cut down?

Reforestation operations rely on strict protocols to assure the safety of the trees planted. There is absolutely no point in taking the effort to grow a tree if they were to be burned or chopped down right away. 

While no organisation can promise that a forest will be impermeable to all threats indefinitely – there are many steps Ecologi takes with the forestry projects to reduce these risks. It is incorporated into Ecologi's due diligence procedures when selecting reforestation partners to collaborate with, as well as the types of projects we sponsor.

How does reforestation work?

What used to be a lush, green cover of around 12%, has now been reduced to a mere 5% of the forest area on earth. All thanks to the severely damaged, neglected tropical forests, wherein the biodiversity is also almost extinct.

Reforestation, particularly of tropical forests, is crucial to address climate change. It involves nurturing and planting saplings to rebuild former forest cover. The most important tree-planting programmes of Ecologi are in Madagascar, Mozambique, and Nicaragua. Replanting is done properly, in a systematic way, to provide benefits for biodiversity and carbon capture.

To improve the biodiversity of the area, reforestation work conducted must include a native and diverse mix of plants. An adequate protection system is put in place to guarantee that the forest survives for long durations instead of being chopped down for wood.

Does Ecologi help plant trees closer to home?

As part of the 10-point plan for a green industrial revolution unveiled in December 2020, the United Kingdom pledged to plant more trees in around 30,000 new hectares per year. In a country where only 13% of the land accounts as forested area, this is a welcome change. Responsible planting in the UK is important and Ecologi has two UK-specific tree-planting projects: one in the South-West of England and another in Scotland.
