Reforestum

Our App measures an ecological footprint and offers carbon offsetting services via Reforestation

Reforestum aims to be the definitive tool that empowers people to take climate action, to take responsibility on their daily actions, to live in a more sustainable way, and finally, to create a better world by building a community of Change Makers that aim to Reforest the world and protect existing forests. Politicians and corporations are a heavy and slow machinery. The latest driven only by profit. People know this, and they are tired of waiting for solutions, people want to participate and take action. But they are also busy and often too worried about their own issues as per investing their time on planting a tree or riding a bicycle instead of driving their car. Fortunately nowadays technology is accesible for everyone. There are specialized Apps that helps us in every task we can imagine. We look at the weather forecast, consult the stock markets, book hotels, reserve taxis, present boarding passes at the airport, read digital newspapers and will end up connecting online with our doctor. Our smartphone is often the last thing we see before felling asleep and we use it as our clock alarm in the morning. However, how many of us is using its smartphone or tablet to create a better world? Which APP is out there that allows you to become an environmental hero? What is the Company that allows you to plant a forest, to become carbon neutral, to measure your impact in the environment, that reinforces you when you do something positive, that brings you environmental awareness, that even makes your ego grow when you share your heroic acts on social media, that encourages you to actually do it all, but even better: DOES IT FOR YOU! Well, Reforestum is all of it and much more. Reforestum offers a green hub for each individual and company that cares about the planet and the future of humanity, that is aware of the risk we are taking if we don’t come all together against climate change. We offer reforestation and offsetsing services globaly. In a few months we count with 1049 clients from 53 countries and 5 continents. Each time anyone makes use of a taxi ride, a Uber, a flight, a hotel, a car sharing service, electricity, vacations, clothes, document shipping, online shopping… it´s all digital, and we want to connect and funnel it all towards our APP. Let´s talk about an ideal scenario: You take a taxi from Schuman to Zaventen Airport, at the end of your trip the App provides you with a exact calculation: the vehicle has polluted 0,5 Kg of CO2 and then offers you to offset your carbon footprint for a few cents of Euro. If you agree the App will extend the forest that you already own in the north of Belgium in a small fraction. Imagine now that you do the same thing many times during the year, and that at the end of that year the outcome is that you owe rights over 200 sqm of forest, a forest that you can actually visit, that you can track online through the Reforestum App! It´s like a savings box for your grandchildren! And not only that, Reforestum is building an online communty of earth warriors with competitions, badges and more. The App will analyze your lifestlyle and give you advice in order to reduce your ecological footprint. It will congratulate you each time you are closer to neutrality maybe because you walked instead of taking a taxi, or said no to a plastic bag. Of course, the objective is that each one of us can become carbon neutral and that we can all together reforest the world! We are already in business, we have planted a first forest in Spain and have delivered a first version of the online APP. Unexpectedly, some companies came to us in order to offset their emissions, so we are developing a B2B strategy that is already working successfully. The potential is huge and we need more resources to make it happen!
