ENVIRONMENTAL PARTNERS
In alignment with the United Nations SDGs Active Giving has selected environmental projects based on their proven ability to aid the fight against climate change. Currently, afforestation sequesters 4.7 Tons CO2 per hectare per year totaling a third of total sequestered carbon globally and is one of the best proven methods of carbon capture in operation. This is why Active Giving converts trackable fitness activities into trees planted.
Our project partners use trees to generate the following social and environmental impact with their work:
Air Quality: Trees sequester CO2 and other gaseous pollutants and provide clean air for us to breathe.
Water Quality: Trees and its surrounding soil hold runoff water and avoid contaminants from entering surface water.
Bio-Diversity: Trees provide a habitat for animals and insects to thrive which increases biodiversity.
Health & wellness: Trees contribute to mental well-being, relieve stress and serve as a source of medicine. With Active Giving they now promote physical activity.
Soil & Soil Health: Trees anchor soil with its roots and avoid landslides. Trees can also filter chemicals and pollutants from the soil into less harmful forms. Falling fruits of trees provide the soil with nutrients.
Food and Forest Products: Trees can provide food and products from which people can make a living.
The Active Giving community have already supported the plantation of more than 1million trees across the world.
We are currently concentrating our tree plantation efforts in Kenya, with our partner Veritree.
