Crafting with Kids

Global warming and the environment has become a very serious issue in the last few years. Ten years ago, most people didn’t think much of global warming. But in the last decade we have seen irrefutable proof that global warming does exist. If you’re one of those people that look at snowstorms lately and feel that proves global warming is not a concern, then you really need to educate yourself a little more. Global warming (and more specifically climate change) is an increase in the average temperatures over a long period of time. Take a look at the long term climate changes – we have had the warmest decade in recorded history, and that isn’t negated by one snow storm. Now of course, whether changes all the time over the short term, but it is the long term trends that are important – and there is undeniable evidence that temperatures over the last few decades have risen. We are seeing see levels rise (due to melting of icebergs) and average temperatures steadily increasing.

So how can you do your part to save the environment? Well, there are a lot of organizations out there that you should join that are dedicated to helping the environment in a variety of ways. One very intriguing environmental organization I stumbled across recently is Silva Tree. Silva Tree primarily offers investments that help the environment, and allow you to get high returns at the same time. Now this sounds like a great idea, because not only will you be helping the environment, but you actually get a solid investment that is going to make you some very good returns per annum. It is a fantastic idea for people that wish to help out but do not want to donate a ton of money to charity. Silva tree offers a win-win solution – you are able to help the environment, and at the same time make a positive return on your money.

The investments and activities conducted by Silva Tree directly counter global warming. Two of Silva Tree’s main investment packages – their timber investment project and Princess Project – are designed to plant new trees and protect existing forest land. Unfortunately the Princess Project is no longer available to invest in, but it worked very well while it was offered. It is fairly common knowledge that rainforests absorb CO2 (therefore reducing global warming) and therefore need to be preserved. The timber investment project offered by Silva Tree is particularly interesting. Upon investing in the timber investment project you will have orwnership of a large area of land that you are able to harvest timber from.

Although the investments offered by Silva Tree are very safe and definitely very appealing, you will need to commit a fairly decent sum. The cost of investing in the timber investment plan is $32,500. If you have a lot of money tied up in interest accounts or stocks that average less than 10% return per annum, then you will get a much better return with many of the investments from Silva Tree. When you take part in some of Silva Tree’s investments you also know that you are dealing with a very reputable organization. Silva Tree is a member of ethical junction, and they are a BBB accredited business.

Silva Tree is able to be successful due to the many different people that work there. The main three directors of Silva Tree are Patrick Visser, Keren Katz and Maurice Sjerps, although there are also many others that are involved.
