doubling Eastbourne's tree cover

doubling Eastbourne's tree cover

Like most areas in England, Eastbourne has much less tree cover than the European average. Trees absorb large amounts of CO2, so they are a major drawdown solution for reversing climate change. So how do we significantly increase the number of trees in Eastbourne?

Points

Trees are very effective in drawing down & storing carbon and help keep urban areas cool.

They are aesthetically pleasing too. Moe needed in town centre

I buy trees via https://treesforlife.org.uk/ to capture the carbon produced by the websites I make. I use calculate the carbon usage using this: https://www.websitecarbon.com. I would love for Eastbourne to have a similar service to trees for life and I am sure a number of business could offer a tree planting benefit in a similar way that I do. I am happy to put the website together once a tree planting scheme is in place.
