The state of the environment has become a very hot topic lately. Ten years ago, most people didn’t think much of global warming. Throughout the 21st century there has been undeniable evidence that global warming is a serious problem. 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? Well as you are probably well aware, there are a lot of environmental organizations that you can volunteer at, donate to or invest in. One very intriguing environmental organization I stumbled across recently is Silva Tree. This is a company that offers environmental investments. This is a very good solution because you are able to make a very high return on investment, and make a positive impact on the environment at the same time. It is a fantastic idea for people that wish to help out but do not want to donate a ton of money to charity. With Silva Tree it is a win-win.

The investments and activities conducted by Silva Tree directly counter global warming. The main two investment programs Silva Tree has been involved in are the Princess Project (already sold out) and the timber investment project. 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. One of the more compelling investment programs from Silva Tree is their timber investment plan. 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 timber investment from Silva Tree has an introductory price of 32,500 USD. If you have that amount of money sitting in long term interest accounts or even the stock market, then you are likely to get a much higher yearly return with the numerous investments that Silva Tree provides. 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. The main three directors of Silva Tree are Patrick Visser, Keren Katz and Maurice Sjerps, although there are also many others that are involved.
