Fast Facts

Trees help the planet in many ways:

  • By absorbing CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), trees help reduce “greenhouse gases” which cause Global Warming. In one year, a single tree can absorb as much carbon as is produced by a car driven 26,000 miles.
  • Trees produce oxygen – 2 mature trees provide enough oxygen for a family of four.
  • The shade from trees cools the air around them and the Earth's temperature.
  • Well placed trees provide shade and protection, helping to cut costs and consumption by decreasing air conditioning by 10-15% & reducing heating as much as 4-22%.
  • Tree roots absorb water run-off pollutants before the water reaches streams and lakes.

Planting in coir is a more sustainable alternative to peat moss.

  • The planet needs its peat bogs because they function as ecosystems that help control global warming by storing CO2 while also storing and filtering 10% of the world’s fresh water.
  • It can take up to 220 years to grow back what has been “harvested” in a peat bog in one year though some efforts are being used to restore peat bogs.
  • Coir (pronounced “koi-er”) is the spent rind of a coconut and can be refined to produce a highly effective peat-moss replacement.
  • Coir works like thousands of mini natural sponges to absorb water and release it to plants as they need it. ·
  • Coir is hyper-renewable (a healthy coconut tree produces up to one batch per month).
  • Coir retains more water than peat moss, significantly reducing watering requirements. – you water less.
  • Coir is fast gaining international notoriety for its eco-friendly horticultural applications. American rose growers are raving about it and Dutch farmers have been using it with great success for years.
  • Coir is 100% organic and pH neutral.
