We’ve Planted 49,900 Trees in the Amazon Rainforest!

Why Are We Planting Trees? 

We set out on our mission to plant 45,000 trees in the Amazon rainforest in line with the launch of our eco-development, ELEMENT – The Quarter.  

ELEMENT – The Quarter is the North West’s first-ever eco property development, which features forward-thinking designs and state-of-the-art, eco-conscious technology.   

To coincide with the launch of this development, we have donated money for 100 trees to be planted by One Tree Planted for every unit sold in ELEMENT – The Quarter. 

So far, a total of £51,467.18 ($69,500) has been raised in donations to One Tree Planted.  

Supporting the environment has never been so vital, and we need to act now to protect the planet against issues such as climate change, air pollution, water and energy crises, and much more.  

How Will This Benefit the Environment? 

We’re so thrilled to know that this development will not only help the environment in many ways once it’s completed, but is also massively contributing to one of the world’s most crucial ecosystems.  

Rainforests are so important for many reasons, including the following: 

• They house over 30 million species of plants and animals, which accounts for half of the world’s wildlife and two-thirds of its plant species. 
• An estimated 25% of all the world’s medicines come from plants that grow in our rainforests, with potentially many more that are yet to be discovered.  
• Rainforest trees draw water from the forest floor and release it back into the atmosphere. Without rainforests, the world would experience more droughts and water shortages.  
• Rainforests help to stabilise the world’s climate by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When deforestation occurs, much of the carbon that is stored is released into the atmosphere as CO2, contributing to global warming. 

And what about the Amazon rainforest?  

• The Amazon rainforest produces roughly 6% of the world’s oxygen and readily absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.  
• The Amazon River is the second-longest in the world and covers nearly 4,000 miles. The river is home to a range of species, including those that are endangered.  
• The Amazon has the world’s highest rate of rainfall, with 3,700 cubic miles of rainwater falling from the sky every year. 
• Over 40,000 plant species reside in the Amazon rainforest, including those that have medicinal properties or that are used for food.  

One Tree Planted is such a vital organisation committed to global reforestation, whom since 2014, has more than doubled the number of trees planted every year.  

They work hard to restore forests that have been affected by forest fires and floods, protect habitats, and build communities and create jobs. 

We’re glad that by selling units in our eco-development, we’ve been able to help One Tree Planted continue its amazing work in such a vital rainforest as the Amazon.
