This tree could save the world


With so many concerns over the wellbeing of our planet, it’s pretty hard to know what we can do to have an impact. We’ve recently been researching ways to reduce carbon and we stumbled upon the Empress Splendor Tree which is probably the greatest tree in the world.

Not only does it absorb 11x more CO2 and produce 11x more oxygen than any other tree (due to it’s huge Jurassic Park style leaves) it also regenerates from the stump up to 7x without needing to replant and it’s lumber is 30x stronger than pine.

This means that you can buy the trees, offset tons of CO2 and then recoup your investment through the sale of the lumber once the tree has matured. Genius!

A company called World Tree allows you to do exactly that. Not all heroes wear capes!
