The Home Depot Inc. will fund the planting of thousands of trees on about 130 acres of land in metro Atlanta try to offset carbon emissions created at its Atlanta headquarters and offset part of the emissions its workers create driving to work and traveling for business. The program is part of The Conservation Fund's Go Zero program, which helps companies offset their carbon footprints by using reforestation. During the past five years, the organization has planted more than 5 million trees to offset nearly 7 million tons of carbon dioxide over the next 70 years. » original news (via the hugg.com)
