Planting One Million Trees
Scientists have warned us that the current carbon emission levels are causing global warming. The issue of climate change is real, not only for our generation but also for the generations to come.
At Acer, we don't pretend we can solve the world's problems, but by taking the position of a corporate citizen we aim to make a positive impact and a small contribution to the environment. Acer is interested in reducing carbon emissions, in particular those emitted by computing devices.
Planting trees is an effective way to reverse the effects of carbon dioxide emissions through photosynthesis. Revegetation is also an integral part of any global climate change program. On average, 1.4 tonnes or timber contain 1 tonne of carbon. These largely continue to be stored in the timber even after harvesting.
Acer is committed to do our part for the environment. Since 2008, we have successfully planted more than 54,393 trees, this equates to offsetting more than 9,065 tonnes of carbon dioxide over their lifetime. Our goal now is pure and simple, we want to accelerate out tree plantation process, and with your help, Acer will plant a million trees within the next 2 years. Acer will plant between 1 - 5 trees for selected Acer products sold, so please support us in our goal and at the same time enjoy Acer's awarding winning range of products at great value prices.
