ECA Movement is an interregional environmental public organization that has been operating since 2010. The movement is engaged in mass environmental education in order to involve as many people as possible in reducing its ecological footprint and taking care of nature. Among the activities of ECA are the implementation of large-scale environmental education programmes and projects for children, youth and adults; formation of responsible waste management; protection of citizens' environmental rights; reforestation; and others.
2021: Plant the Forest project invites Russian companies to repay their carbon footprint
From 2023, the European Union will introduce cross-border carbon regulation, which will affect almost 42% of Russian exports. According to Bloomberg[1], Russia will promote the forest as one of the international carbon currencies and offer businesses to restore forests in exchange for carbon credit. The project "Plant the forest" of the ECA Movement invites domestic companies to calculate and repay their carbon footprint using the tree planting service by volunteers, having received a CO2-neutrality certificate.
You can calculate the carbon footprint and the number of trees to be planted to compensate for emissions using a special calculator on the site http://posadiles.ru/calc. The CO2 footprint can be calculated for any period and for any parameters, but all items for the year must be entered in order to obtain a carbon neutrality certificate.
The required number of trees will be planted by ECA Movement volunteers in spring or autumn in forest areas affected by fires, pests and other disasters, after which the company will receive a one-year certificate and a CO2-neutral trademark. Full information about the capabilities of the "Plant the Forest" service for legal entities is available on the website posadiles.ru/companies.
 | "Until the European Union has finally approved measures to regulate the carbon tax on imports, Russia's business and forest climate projects have a chance to convince Europe to take into account the contribution of our forests when calculating CO2 repayment units of exporting companies. To do this, it is necessary to show that the business is ready not only to once compensate for the "primary" carbon footprint by sponsoring the planting of seedlings, but also to repay "secondary" emissions, provide subsequent agroenterprise for trees, and maintain the forest at a long distance. The Plant Forest project will help companies take these nuances into account when compensating for their CO2 emissions, "comments Elena Gorokhova, director of the ECA Movement. |  |
The "Plant the Forest" online service is the platform of the ECA Forest Restoration Movement, which has been operating since 2015. Over the five years of the project, the Movement volunteers, with the support of partners and private philanthropists, planted more than 960 thousand trees in 27 regions of Russia. You can see reports on the results of past landings on the page http://posadiles.ru/reports.
