One small fun trip by bus every month and you have effected planted 4 trees!

310 grams is the amount of CO2 that is emitted per KM by a medium car. A grownup tree absorbs around 22 KG of carbon dioxide every year. If you decide that once and just once a month I will take the bus to that super market just 10 KM away, simple maths and you will end up preventing carbon dioxide that equal to what 3-4 fully grown trees can absorb from the atmosphere in a year! Mind boggling isn't it! That's just one person. You may not have the time or know how to plant and maintain trees but you have effectively done the equivalent of planting and nurturing 4 trees. So every time that one time each month, you decide to take the bus (basically avoid riding by your car) you know you are effectively nurturing 4 trees and doing your bit for the environment. It is bound to feel good.

Now you know the power of one. If you can do more you know that you are going to feel even better and yes the mother nature too!
