Earth Insight Foundation currently supports two projects which are unique in their focus.
The Dark Snow Project
Dark Snow has been our initial scientific research program which continues on today and started prior to the Greenland Trees Project. It enabled our scientists to determine more about what was causing our planet’s climate to change. We focused mainly on the Greenland ice sheet that was melting at an alarmingly rapid pace. For more information about this we have a website that shows more of the specifics about this project: http://www.darksnowproject.org
Greenland Trees Project
In addition to reducing carbon emissions, humanity urgently needs to draw down atmospheric carbon. The Greenland Trees Project is run by climate scientists, reduces atmospheric CO2 by planting trees in southern Greenland in a climate where trees can thrive. Take action now and your trees will stand alongside ours, as we engage Greenland youth and draw carbon from the atmosphere for many decades to come, slowing down abrupt climate change.
In our first year – 2019 – we set out to plant 5.000 trees in south Greenland. This will take place in late August and early September, in the vicinity of the town of Narsarsuaq. In our first year, we focus on quality, not quantity, as we optimize our techniques and increase local involvement. In coming years we will run larger campaigns, budget permitting, planting several tens of thousands of trees each year for a large carbon drawdown.
