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. Short term whether fluctuates frequently, but the long term climate changes are irrefutable. We’re seeing higher temperatures and rising sea levels with each passing year.

So how can you do your part to save the environment? There are tons of organizations and companies that you can consider joining that are dedicated to helping the environment. A particularly interesting organization I came across lately is Silva Tree. This is a company that offers environmental investments. 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. The investments you’ll get from Silva Tree are ideal for people that want to help the environment, but don’t want to lose money by donating large sums. With Silva Tree it is a win-win.

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 has an A+ rating on the Better Business Bureau and has many very satisfied investors.

There are many people that work at Silva Tree who work to make it a success. Apart from the main directors (Maurice Sjerps, Patrick Visser and Keren Katz) there are many others that support the organization and take part in the various investments offered.
