Plant a tree

Trees absorb carbon, obv. If you haven't got a garden, or room in the garden that you do have, you can plant a tree through the Woodland Trust (http://www.woodland-trust.org.uk). They are planning to plant a new forest in Hertfordshire composed entirely of native species, to combat both the ever-declining stock of ancient woodland in the UK, and climate change. If you donate £15 to the campaign, this will buy the land necessary to plant one tree, the actual sapling itself, and resources to look after the tree for 5 years. You can also donate less or more to the campaign if you want to plant more trees.
