Publisher signs up to balance carbon consumption by planting native trees in UK
Rosanna Rossi owners Anna and Troy Nelson are having a tree-mendous time moving their greeting card business forward on the eco-friendly front.
They’ve signed an agreement with non-profit organisation 9Trees which plants trees within the UK to rebuild woodland habitats and improve biodiversity and mental health through access to woodlands as well as balancing carbon footprints for businesses and individuals.
The name comes from the fact that nine trees is the number needed to be planted each year to balance the average UK citizen’s annual carbon consumption.
“We’ve been wanting to partner with an organisation that we resonate with for quite some years,” Anna told PG Buzz, “and, when they got in touch with us, we knew in an instant that it was a fantastic opportunity to get involved and give back in a way that really reflects us as a business and personally.”
From now on a percentage of annual profit from Rosanna Rossi will now go towards planting new native trees around the UK as 9Trees uses its specialist knowledge to carefully choose the species for the right habitat and, Anna added: “What’s even more reassuring is that they will continuously look after the trees for years to come and keep us up to date with the progress.”
Founded in 2018 by experienced habitat and business manager Michael Cunningham, 9Trees is a community interest company which ploughs any profits back into good schemes, training and education.
All trees planted are native and grown in the UK, and it works with altruistic landowners and organisations to plant on carefully-selected land, not destroying vital flower meadows, peat land or other sites of special scientific interest (SSSIs).
