Carbon offsetting for individuals and small businesses

Our aim is simple, to

plant 1,000,000 new trees

and save existing forests from commercial activities.While helping you become carbon neutral.

The marketing hype

At Treejitsu, we’re not just planting trees; we’re throwing carbon into a chokehold 🌿💪

Our mission is clear: offsetting carbon emissions, one tree at a time. Whether you’re a climate-conscious individual or a forward-thinking business, we’ve got your back.

Planting Trees

For every ton of carbon dioxide you emit, we’ll plant a tree. These aren’t just any trees - they’re our carbon warriors. They’ll absorb CO₂, fight deforestation, and create a greener world.

Clean Air Dojo

The world is our dojo. It's where you become a carbon ninja. Buy a tree join our journey, learn about sustainable practices, and earn your black belt in green consciousness.

Carbon Fight

We’re not afraid of a challenge. Carbon emissions, meet our forest. It’s a battle royale where trees emerge victorious.

The problem

In Europe, the average annual carbon footprint is equivalent to about eight tonnes of CO₂ per person (European Environment Agency, 2023).Some European countries have emissions not far from the global average: In 2017 emissions in Portugal were 5.3 tonnes; 5.5 tonnes in France; and 5.8 tonnes per person in the UK (Global Carbon Atlas, 2023).On the other hand, the average American was responsible for emitting 14.4 metric tons of carbon dioxide (tCO₂) in 2022 (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2023).This is one of the highest rates in the world, and it's significantly more than three times the global average per capita CO₂ emissions (World Bank, 2023).

The Solution

Trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air through a process called photosynthesis and fuel its growth (MIT Climate Portal, 2024; USDA, 2015).The carbon is stored in the tree's fibers, roots, and trunk, helping to reduce the negative effects of CO₂ on our environment (USDA, 2015; U.S. Forest Service, 2021).A mature tree can absorb more than 48 pounds (approximately 21.77 kilograms) of CO₂ from the atmosphere in a year (One Tree Planted, 2023; USDA, 2015; U.S. Forest Service, 2021).Over a lifetime of 100 years, one tree could absorb around one tonne of CO2 (Viessmann UK, n.d.).


In short...
The average European would need to plant 8 trees per year and leave them for 100 years, just to offset 1 years CO₂ emissions.
The average person from the US would need to plant 14 trees.

Our Plan

We want to help you become carbon neutral.

And we understand that not everyone has enough land to plant 8 trees every year.
So we will do that for you.

Our estimate is that we can buy the land needed and plant 8 trees for...
€180 / £155 / $195
This would offset 8 tonnes of CO₂ emissions for 1 year
Alternatively if you wanted to offset less CO₂ we estimate we could do that for as little as...
€22.50 / £19.50 / $24.50 per tree
This would offset 1 tonne of CO₂ per tree.


Next Steps

We think this is a great idea.
But before we buy those fields and start planting trees we need to know if you also think this is a good idea.

Next steps
Step 1 - Register your interest (no obligation to buy)
Step 2 - follow us on social mediaStep 3 - what we do next depends on the number of people who are interested



Not for you?

Here are 5 things you can do right now to helpReduce Energy Consumption
This can be achieved by using energy-efficient appliances, insulating homes, and reducing the use of air conditioning and heating.
Eat Low on the Food Chain
Consuming more fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans and less meat and dairy can significantly reduce one’s carbon footprint. Livestock is responsible for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Shop Locally
Choosing local and in-season foods reduces the carbon emissions associated with transporting food from far away.
Travel Smart
Opt for public transportation, biking, or walking when possible. If driving is necessary, consider a fuel-efficient or electric vehicle.
Reduce Waste
Plan meals to reduce food waste, recycle whenever possible, and consider composting food waste.
