Carbon Offsets and How To Simply Implement Them

If you are concerned about the environment and want to do something to help? 

Perhaps, you don’t know where to start and you’re looking for a simple solution that isn’t going to take any effort to maintain.

There are various projects you could get involved in, but how do you choose which one?

Over the past year, I’ve partnered with Ecoforce Global run by Charles and Tracy Alder. You may remember them from the “Buy A Bale” program they instigated with the Rural Aid charity they created to help farmers during the drought. 

They’re passionate about helping farmers and are on a mission to plant 1 billion trees by 2030 whilst supporting regenerative agriculture. The trees will all be planted on farmers properties and maintained by the farmer to ensure they grow to be big trees. By doing this, the trees provide carbon dioxide sequestration and canopy cover for animals, insects, and birds creating their own ecosystem within the forest.

I was talking to Charles just last week and they’ve just placed an order for 10,000 trees for one of the farms Ecoforce works with that will be planted in Spring 2025. I’ve lost count of how many trees have already been planted since they started the program.

Interested?

There are a number of ways businesses and people can get involved.

You can buy trees directly, whether paid in full or paid over twelve months, which I’d encourage you to do.

But there’s another super cool initiative that has just been launched in conjunction with Rounda. By using Rounda, you can have your debit or credit card purchases automatically rounded up to the nearest dollar, $2 or $5 with the rounding amounts added up and then allocated to buy trees at the end of each month. You also have the option to cap the amount of the rounding each week and you can pause the rounding at any time too. 

Then at the end of the month, you’ll get a report that shows the amount of rounding you paid and how that’s been allocated to buying trees.  

Cool, right? I think so.
