Frequently Asked Questions

Carbon removal is the effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the environment. Though there are many ways to remove carbon, Bumiterra removes carbon through reforestation efforts. Planting new trees removes carbon because trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the environment through the process of photosynthesis. Buying our restoration package guarantees that you are directly removing your carbon dioxide emissions.

Being net-zero means that the total carbon you emit (carbon footprint) is equalized to the carbon emissions that you remove. Everyone, both individuals, communities and large corporations has a carbon footprint. We can start by reducing our carbon footprint by living a low-emissions lifestyle. Doing activities such as eating a plant-based meal, taking public transportation, and reducing the use of electronics and plastic are ways to reduce your emissions. However, reducing our emissions will not neutralize all your emissions. Therefore whatever emissions we have left over, we can fund initiatives that remove carbon. Inquire more about how Bumiterra can help you remove your carbon emissions in the questionnaire section.

There are several ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
