What if we didn’t longer thinks\u00a0just in terms of “how much money it cost me” before we\u00a0buy a product or before\u00a0traveling but we thought “how many trees will it cost<\/strong>?”<\/p>\n

This is the idea behind HowManyTrees<\/strong>, website\u00a0of \u200b\u200btwo engineers who we met few days ago.<\/p>\n

In the website,<\/a> answering simple questions about your lifestyle, you can find out your environmental<\/strong> impact<\/strong> calculated in tonnes of CO2 per year and the fees trees needed to offset them.<\/p>\n

You will also find out tips and ideas for reducing your carbon footprint. You will discover how to better manage heating and electricity in the house, what are the means of transport to be preferred and which food\u00a0is more just for the planet.<\/p>\n

More about Howmanytrees<\/h2>\n

Here’s what Stefano Porro and Alberto Romanengo, HowManyTrees co-founders, told us\u00a0about\u00a0their fantastic project:<\/p>\n

Where\u00a0the idea of HowManyTrees<\/strong> comes?<\/p>\n

Howmanytrees was founded by two friends engineers with a passion for the environment, who want to raise people’s awareness on the environmental impact of their choices.\u00a0To do this we sought a simple and effective tool. Hence the idea to assess the environmental<\/strong>cost<\/strong> of everything and express it in trees.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How can we change the paradigm, thinking in terms of ‘how many trees’, instead of ‘how much is it’?<\/p>\n

\n

To change the paradigm it’s necessary that\u00a0everyone begins to wonder about the ecological cost of the different options and to find out, you can just contact howmanytrees. Ask and then learn about the ecological cost is the first step to gradually change their lifestyles, naturally. Knowing that the chicken costs a quarter of beef, slowly I will tend to buy less meat. Not everyone will react the same way, but the trend will be marked. No sudden and absolute drastic solutions, but gradual, weighted and worn on one’s personality. Each of us can change a lot with little effort.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And, how we can\u00a0travel<\/strong> in a more sustainable<\/strong> way?<\/p>\n

And, even more so when we travel we need to know where to go. Conscious accommodations<\/strong> are a beautiful lighthouse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"HowManyTrees<\/p>\n

Why trees?<\/h2>\n

The trees are a “natural antidote to CO2<\/strong>“, absorbing it through photosynthesis and returning oxygen<\/strong>.
\nIncrease in CO2 emissions is equivalent to cutting trees and destroying entire forests, while reducing your\u00a0carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to planting<\/strong> trees<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

HowManyTrees dreams, and we with them, a world where people no longer ask “How much money it costs?” But, before everything, they\u00a0ask “How many trees will it costs?”<\/p>\n
