Our aim is to find a new home for that thing you don't need anymore. We want to extend its life, stop it going to landfill and sabotage the manufacture of yet another new product. Then we want to use the money raised to plant carbon-ravenous trees in Kenya. We've been running a community forestry project down there since 2008 and its getting pretty big. We now work with 3,000 subsistence farmers who plant on their own land and are currently putting in 1,000,000 trees every year. The economies of scale mean that we can plant a tree for 20p so if your gear sells for £1, the world gets 5 extra trees - if it sells for £20 that's 100 new trees you're planting and if it goes for £100 you'll be creating a 500-tree carbon-rich tropical forest!
There are 3 ways to use that surplus gear of yours to draw down some carbon from the sky:
