What are we doing to help?
 We plant a tree every time you order!!!
LED Insider is committed to leading our industry on responsible
environmental stewardship. Climate change and environmental degradation
are among the biggest world issues in this century. While most agree
that we must do something, the challenges can often appear to be too
great and too complicated for any one of us to feel like we're making a
difference....but we can make a difference.
LED Insider, has launched our "Plant a Tree for Free" program, as part
of our lighting up a greener world initiative. Our idea is to help
offset the carbon emissions associated with powering light bulbs -
simply by planting trees. Our goal is to help our customers "go zero"
easily, inexpensively and responsibly. It is calculated that the average
American family needs to plant 30 trees to offset the CO2 produced by
their daily energy use... That's a lot of trees! Our program is designed
to help you tackle this number with absolutely no effort on your part.
By helping you plant your trees now, we can start making a difference
today! So, what is =The Plan?=
We believe so strongly in combating climate change that LED Insider is
planting one tree for every light bulb that is purchased from us. Yep,
that's right... For each bulb that you buy, we'll plant one tree for
you. So, the more bulbs you buy, the more trees get planted, the more
energy you save and the happier the environment becomes! Everyone wins.
You've gotta love that!
Here are some reasons why we're putting our money where our mouth is and
stepping out with this great program:
- We feel that planting trees is the easiest, most effective way to
help each of us clean our air and sequester carbon through tree
planting.
- By supporting reforestation projects around the world that reduce CO2
emissions in the atmosphere we can make a real difference.
- Reforestation is a form of carbon sequestration (sequestration is the
capture and removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere). Forests
capture CO2 and store it in the trees mass and in the soil.
Reforestation projects play a vital role in absorbing emissions,
managing watershed, maintain wildlife habitats and providing time to
transition to a new energy future.
- Planting trees in the right places for the right reasons is the best
dollar-for-dollar investment we can make to improve our environment.
 So you might ask, where are we going to plant these wonderful trees? In
addition to providing assistance to third world countries, we plan to
help repair hurricane, flood and fire damaged areas around the world.
Being in San Diego California we have seen firsthand the devastating
impact of our recent catastrophic wildfires. As the size, frequency and
intensity of these wildfires increases, we are faced with a more urgent
need to rehabilitate damaged areas to prevent further degradation of
forest ecosystems. Drought conditions in many states, including
California, and the effects of decades of fire suppression have given
rise to hundreds of fires in the United States, and they seem to be on
the rise. Furthermore, we are supporting efforts to reclaim abandoned
strip mines or farms - prevent erosion into salmon streams - fight back
invasive species of trees - and make cooler, cleaner cities.
We hope you agree that since trees reduce greenhouse gases by absorbing
carbon dioxide, save energy, help filter our water, and so much more
this project is simply worth doing! This is why we're so excited to make
this program easy for you... all you need to do is buy our energy
efficient, environmentally conscious light bulbs for your home and
business and we'll take care of the rest!
