Description
TIME FOR FOREST Project (T4F Project) is an innovative action designed to successfully combat results of global warming by neutralization of CO2 emission. The goal is to be achieved by biodiverse aforestation in various areas of Poland. Aeris Futuro Foundation would like to cooperate with companies who are interested in offsetting their CO2 emissions by planting trees which will absorb it.
Within the project we also organize and encourage GREEN and CARBON NEUTRAL EVENTS.
TIME FOR FOREST Project is under patronage of Ministry of Environment and included in "Plant for the Planet" campaign of UNEP.
There are 4 steps to neutralize CO2 emissions in cooperation with Aeris Futuro Foundation:
1. IDENTIFICATION
2. CALCULATION

4. COMMUNICATION
1. IDENTIFICATION
You have to define a source of emission that you would like to have neutralized. CO2 may come from following sources:
- Transportation
- Energy consumption in households and bureaus
- Industry
2. CALCULATION
Your CO2 emission has to be estimated. Calculation may be based on:
- Real emission coming from various sources, for instance transportation, electricity usage in your house or office; you may choose a period for which the emission is estimated, for instance one time, one month or year. You can either use the CO2 Calculator or ask the Foundation's representative to help you.
- Funds that you can afford to spend on fighting with global warming.
Once you decide to contribute to T4F Project, we will inform you what emission will be neutralized with your money.
The Aeris Futuro Foundation on your behalf will neutralize your CO2 emission by planting and taking care of trees. This actions will be undertaken once you send money to our bank account:

3. ACTION
The planting location is the Zawoja commune in Besidy mountains (www.zawoja.pl) in the Małopolska region (województwo małopolskie). Thanks to the cooperation with Zawoja Association of Private Forest Owners (ZSWLP), The Forest Inspectorate, the Sucha Beskidzka district and Zawoja commune authorities and Babiogórski National Park, we can ensure that planted trees will be properly looked after. Time when trees are planted depends mostly on aforeststion requirements, but a donator's expectations will be taken into consideration as much as possible. The Aeris Futuro Foundation will offer further planting locations in Poland in the near future.
