Planting Trees to Offset C02 and Beautify Tennessee
About us
At Green Interchange we're planting trees to offset CO2 right here in Tennessee. When you offset your emissions with us, you are helping cover the cost of planting trees. You can also join us as a volunteer at one of our tree planting events, or invite your company or business to support us. We plant trees in highway interchanges and other public spaces. Trees naturally and effectively absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. Each tree we plant will absorb up to 48 pounds of CO2 per year at maturity. By doing this we reduce the carbon footprint and make our state even more beautiful!
