A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases—primarily carbon dioxide—released into the atmosphere by a particular human activity. A carbon footprint can be a broad meaasure or be applied to the actions of an individual, a family, an event, an organization, or even an entire nation. It is usually measured as tons of CO2 emitted per year, a number that can be supplemented by tons of CO2-equivalent gases, including methane, nitrous oxide, and other greenhouse gases. Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Estimates of carbon stocks and stock changes in fruit orchards are necessary under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol.

Based on many researches, among cultivated fruit trees like mango, apple, citrus, guava, sapota, ber, fig, mango sequesters maximum carbon.

The study concluded that conservation horticulture must be promoted rather than the conventional intensive cultivation which is economically sustainable and enhances carbon sequestration and improves soil health. “We must partially diversify agriculture through promotion of perennial horticulture,” Ganeshamurthy.

Scientists are studying global production and proving that mangoes have a solid scientific foundation for being good against climate change

As mango trees grow, a process of carbon sequestration or carbon uptake occurs. The tree absorbs carbondioxide from the environment and with it forms the trunk, branches leaves and fruit.

Climate change is a major global concern due to the massive emissions of greenhouse gases into the environment. Mango trees are beginning to get more accolades with scientists because of the mitigating power they have in carbon sequestration.

A mature tree absorbs carbon dioxide at a rate of 48 pounds per year. In one year, an acre of forest can absorbtwice the CO2 produced by the average car’s annual mileage.

Carbon offsetting: For an example, an individual might purchase carbon offsets to compensate for the greenhouse gas emissions caused by personal air travel. Carbon offset vendors offer direct purchase of carbon offsets, often also offering other services such as designating a carbon offset project to support or measuring a purchaser’s carbon footprint. In 2016, about $191.3 million of carbon offsets were purchased in the voluntary market, representing about 63.4 million metric tons of CO2e reductions.

Plans:

For the 1st time ever: Calculate, Learn, Use & grow!

Calculate: Carbon footprint

Learn: sustainability

Use: sustainable products

Grow: A tree & a shelter home for birds or animals

Just select your favourite sustainable products. (Be it a customised storytelling life book, or birthday book, or sustainable design solution for your house, home office or sustainable lifestyle products or any subscription). Once you finish all the 8 steps (from roots to foliage), trees will be planted for you on your name. (Mango, coconut or any other trees depending on specific climatic location), No excuses. Each tree once grown up, fruits will be yours. And one shelter home will be made either for birds or animals from a wide range.

You don’t have a sapling at hand or a big garden in your backyard Or want to avoid getting dirt under your fingernails? The Pencil for change is your way to help nature recover by selecting from 100s of hand-crafted low carbon products. The benefits of tree planting and making shelter home for birds or animals are not just for nature, they are also a vital source of income for poor communities on earth.
