A New Tree
By: Group 15

2. Our Mission
Reduce the detrimental effects of carbon
emissions by planting trees worldwide.

3. Raising Awareness

5. How We Will Fulfill Our Mission
● Build green areas on the
roofs of buildings
● Trees consume carbon
● Plants are important to the
environment and remove
CO₂ from the atmosphere

6. Target cities or places
that produce greenhouse
gases in large amounts
and plant trees in rooftop
gardens and other open
spaces.
Plant trees in areas of
pollution, such as cities in
order to reduce the
amount of greenhouse
gases and combat global
warming.
VALUESVISIONMISSION
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We intend to not only
help reduce carbon
emissions but we also
plan to help people get
access to fresh fruits and
vegetables.

7. Statistics in Favor of Our Solution
● Forests in the United States absorb
and store roughly 750 million metric
tons of carbon dioxide each year
(which is 10% of America’s CO2
emissions)
● Trees consume around 48 pounds of
carbon dioxide per year
● A single tree can store up to one ton
of carbon by the time it is 40 years
old

8. Plausibility of Our Solution
A 10 day study in Stuttgart Germany
illustrated the impact of green roofs:
The following data was collected:
● 5-8% decrease in ozone concentrations
during heat waves
● Green roofs work more effectively
than cool roofs

9. Species of Plants Based on
Climate

10. ● Dry
○ cacti
○ chitalpa tree
○ chinese elm
○ fig trees

11. ● Humid
○ spider plants
○ orchid
○ aloe vera
○ peace lily
○ azalea

12. ● Temperate
○ pine
○ oak
○ common horse-
chestnut
○ London plane

13. One Tree Planted (OTP)
● One tree planted is a non-profit
organization that is focused on global
reforestation
● OTP’s projects help with restoration
from forest fires and floods, as well as
creating jobs, building communities,
and protecting habitats and diversity
One Tree Planted has
planted trees in:
● North America
● Latin America
● Asia
● Africa

14. How it Works
The organization ensures that they
maintain a tree survival rate of
80-90%.
One Tree Planted (OTP) pools
donations for each project and sends
the funds to reforestation buddies.
Depending on the project, OTP
chooses the best tree species to plant
and works with local communities to
get them in the ground.

15. PLANT vs. One Tree Planted
Similarities
● Our philosophies
● Our end goal
● Ways of achieving the
end goal
Differences
● Opposing regions
● Everyday, ordinary
people can help make
change with our program

16. ● Expand to other countries and continents
● Rooftop Gardens in bigger cities
● Cities will have better skylines
○ Tourism will increase
● Cities begin to incorporate these gardens into their infrastructures
● If we plant plants that have fruits and vegetables, we can give them to
people who do not have access to fresh and organic produce
How Will This Expand Into The Future?

17. “Times and conditions change so
rapidly that we must keep our aim
constantly focused on the future.”
