Today, on World Environment Day 2024, we're thrilled to unveil our newest initiative aimed at making a tangible impact on our planet's future and fostering a culture of sustainability.
At Lily Shippen, we believe in the power of meaningful connections and the importance of leaving a positive impact on the world around us. Our latest initiative, LS Green Growth, embodies this belief by focusing on both professional development and environmental sustainability.
The Goal
LS Green Growth is more than just a commitment; it's a promise to nurture both professional and environmental growth, one tree at a time. Our ambitious goal is to cultivate a forest of 200 rejuvenated trees by World Environment Day 2025.
Through this initiative, we're not only mitigating carbon emissions but also championing water retention, preserving biodiversity, and ensuring a greener, healthier future for generations to come.
Why Trees?
Trees are the guardians of our planet, offering countless benefits to both humans and wildlife. They serve as nature's carbon sinks, absorbing harmful greenhouse gases and purifying the air we breathe. Additionally, trees play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, providing habitats for diverse species, and safeguarding precious water resources. By planting trees, we're making a tangible difference in the fight against climate change and contributing to the well-being of our planet and future generations.
Our Impact
If we achieve our goal of planting 200 trees, the estimated amount of CO2 sequestered over twenty years would be 48,000 kg. To put this into perspective:
- Equivalent Cars Off the Road: The average passenger car emits around 4.6 metric tons of CO2 per year. Sequestering 48,000 kg of CO2 is like taking approximately 10 cars off the road for a year.
- Equivalent Paper Recycling: Recycling one ton of paper saves approximately 6.8 trees and reduces CO2 emissions by about 0.44 metric tons. Planting 200 trees would sequester the same amount of CO2 as recycling approximately 2.72 tons of paper, roughly equivalent to the paper consumption of a small office over several years.
How We Grow Our Forest*
