Are you a founder interested in 1% for the Planet and Climate Neutral certification? We have a great tip for you that a lot of entrepreneurs love. You can achieve both your 1% for the Planet commitment and carbon neutrality by partnering with SeaTrees. This approach not only maximizes your sustainability efforts but also supports an incredible mission that makes a real difference. As someone who volunteers with SeaTrees, I've witnessed their incredible team, at the forefront of climate change innovation, in action, and can attest to their impactful projects (they currently have 23 projects around the world).
Why SeaTrees?
SeaTrees offers a unique opportunity to achieve carbon neutrality while fulfilling your 1% for the Planet commitment. Their mission is to restore coastal ecosystems and combat climate change by planting mangroves, kelp, and other critical habitats. These projects not only sequester carbon very effectively but also support marine biodiversity and local communities.
The SeaTrees Mission
SeaTrees focuses on restoring blue carbon ecosystems, which are some of the most efficient natural carbon sinks on the planet. Their projects include:
- Mangrove Planting: Mangroves sequester up to 10 times more carbon per hectare than terrestrial forests. They also protect coastlines from erosion and support diverse marine life.
- Kelp Reforestation: Kelp forests absorb CO2 and provide habitats for marine species, improving ocean health and biodiversity.
- Community Support: By working with local communities, SeaTrees ensures sustainable project development and long-term environmental stewardship.
How to Leverage SeaTrees for Maximum Impact
