It’s our favorite day of the year: Earth Day. We’re excited to celebrate GoGreenRide's commitment to the environment.
Via this partnership, our carbon credits help to fund the Mississippi Valley Restored EcoSystem Project. Our funds will help reforest one million acres of the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley. The Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley was once covered by 22 million acres of dense forests, but now supports less than 20% of the original as a result of deforestation and a change to agricultural land use. However, planting trees will reduce an estimated amount of 200 tCO2 in the area, while also improving the water quality and biodiversity. Our efforts in this project will also create revenue for low-income landowners. The water quality will also benefit because reforestation minimizes soil erosion and absorbs farm chemicals from surface runoff and groundwater.
We’ve come a long way and we’re more confident than ever about the role we're playing to address sustainability and other important environmental challenges.We invite you to join us on our journey by:
