‘Buy One Get One Tree’

The actuality of ecology issues is noticeable everywhere in the world and the World Wide Web, too. SourceWire.com releases that in order to celebrate the launch of GreenPanTM in the UK and Ireland this October, exclusive distributor Typhoon has partnered with Carbon Clear. It pledged to grow a tree for every item sold from the cookware range. Made up mostly of recycled handles, bodies and lids the GreenPanTM ranges have been designed with the environment in mind.

GreenPanTM Cookware is coated with ThermolonTM to standard PTFE non-stick coatings. The result of it is 50% fewer greenhouse gases during production, this means that carbon footprint is significantly reduced.
These projects must benefit the community implementing them as well as the environment so Carbon Clear works with local groups to implement its sustainable tree-planting projects. Removal of harmful CO2 from the atmosphere is one of the main advantages of the project.

Other advantages are:
A steady income for farmers,
Useful crops such as fruit or medicine, shade for secondary crops and reduce soil erosion.

According to the SourceWire.com, Nine trees grown and maintained over a 10 year period will sequester 1 tonne of carbon dioxide (equal to driving over 3,300 miles in an average family car or keeping a traditional 60w light bulb on over 29,000 hours).
