The green Christmas gift A climate gift subscription
Surprise your loved ones with a gift climate subscription and let them start the new year living climate neutral. For your chosen duration, we will offset the gift recipient’s CO2 emissions through effective climate protection measures in Europe. We’ll plant trees in Germany and buy away emission rights from the industry in the EU.
For your gift, you’ll do a one-time donation. The subscription ends automatically.
This is what you'll get with your climate gift subscription
- A printable gift certificate with the recipient’s name.
- A donation receipt in the first quarter of next year. Your donation is tax deductible in Germany and other countries that recognize our nonprofit status.
- For the duration of the subscription, the gift recipient will receive our monthly impact report. There we report how many trees we plant and how many emission rights we’ve canceled.
For a one-time donation of €25, your gift offsets 0.3 tonnes of CO2 emissions through:
-
0.1Â Emission rights cancelled
Canceling emission rights equals shutting down a coal-fired power plant for  hours. 0 minute.  seconds.
We buy European emission allowances (EUAs) from the European Union’s capped carbon trading scheme. Then we cancel them, which means the rights are destroyed forever! This way, we force the big CO2 emitters like coal-fired power plants in the EU to emit less CO2. Because European emission allowances determine how much carbon emissions can be emitted in the EU. This is the most effective way to avoid emissions that we know of.

0 Trees planted in Europe
Our trees grow in new, protected forests in Germany.
We plant mixed forests together with our partner, the German Forest Protection Association. Mixed forests have many advantages. They are much more climate-resistant, offer protection against drought, wind and disease, and promote biodiversity. Planting in Germany has the added advantage that CO2 is offset where it is emitted—so offsets are credited where they are needed.
