|By visiting this page and seeing the banners above, you have removed 4 pounds of CO2 (carbon dioxide) - which causes global warming - from |
|the atmosphere, by helping to plant trees in the monarch butterfly forest of Michoacan, Mexico; through the Michoacan Reforestation Fund. |
|(more info.) These forests are the winter home for the millions of North American monarch butterflies living east of the Rocky Mountains. By|
|planting native trees to protect the remaining forests, we are helping to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and also insure that monarch |
|butterflies will continue to exist. If you would like to plant trees to honor a loved one and have them receive a certificate please click |
|here. Note: one ton of carbon is removed from the atmosphere over the next 42 years for every 3.45 trees planted in this forest, so when you|
|plant 25 trees you are also removing 7 and 1/4 tons of CO2! (EcologyFund and The Rainforest Site have planted over 20,000 trees since 1999).|

|As of 10/01/03, the former reduce pollution project on EcologyFund retired over 2600 tons of CO2 (to fight global warming) and 5 tons of |
|sulfur dioxide (to fight acid rain) by purchasing CO2 and SO2 credits from the Environmental Action Desk and having them retired by the |
|Environmental Law and Policy Center (ELPC). |
