10/10 Ian Elgie knows about the #Iroko or #Mvule tree as he and the Eastbourne United Nations Association are very involved in the Mvule Tree Planting project in #Uganda. This is an #Offsetting scheme which, of course, many are rightly super sceptical of, but anyway, here the link in case you are interested. Helping to plant #Mvule trees in Uganda probably a good thing?

50p plants a tropical hardwood tree.Plant the iconic Mvule (Iroko) tree and two companion species - small costs- big benefits.Donate Β£18 to plant 36 trees (or a Standing Order Β£1.50 per month) to be carbon neutral.The UK government calculates your carbon footprint using the 'production method'. This means that they only calculate your footprint for activities in the UK (about 6 tonnes per adult). But some half or more of your carbon footprint includes manufacturing and supply chains from overseas. Therefore, we use the 'consumption method' to calculate the average UK adult's carbon footprint (about 8-10 tonnes) for a more realistic carbon footprint. The 36 tropical hardwood trees of the Tri-species project will capture an estimated 16 tonnes of CO2 per year ( = 4.36 tonnes carbon) after allowing for an annual mortality rate.
