For every art piece purchased, I donate a tree to the Growing Trees Network.
My art needs paper. Paper is made from trees. That's why I have chosen to donate a tree for every sale of art print. It doesn't matter if it's an original painting or a print. This is done in collaboration with the Growing Trees Network, which has projects all around the globe.
Trees can store the CO2 that accumulates in the atmosphere and convert it into clean oxygen. That's why tree planting is a tremendous help in saving our climate.
I have chosen to support the Growing Trees Network's project in the Amazon rainforest. They are planting Balsa trees in Ecuador, and besides absorbing CO2, this project also creates job opportunities with good conditions in an economically impoverished area. To top it off, the trees also contribute to biodiversity, which is facing significant challenges in the Amazonas. They do this by shifting the focus away from deforestation of the pristine rainforest.
THEREFORE Purchasing my art equals one more Balsa tree in the Amazon. That’s a lovely thought.
