Help take action on climate change with
Trees for Change
Trees take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen through photosynthesis, making them nature's air fresheners. So it's vital that trees are protected and replaced. That's why we've developed Trees for Change, an SRP EarthWise program.
With your help, we will plant thousands of ponderosa pine seedlings on Arizona land destroyed by fire. Our goal is to return Arizona land to its original beauty while reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Trees for Change is an easy, personal way to effect change.
Simply sign up here to add $3, $6, $9 or more, to your monthly bill. Then, SRP will match every dollar customers contribute up to $160,000, with 100% of the funds going to planting trees in Arizona forests.
Reforestation of once-forested but currently unproductive areas such as forests destroyed by fires is a recognized and proven way to sequester carbon helping to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
As trees grow, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in living plant tissue.
SRP has a long and rich history of environmental stewardship and is concerned about the environmental challenges we face today. SRP especially recognizes the importance of the climate change issue and is committed to implementing balanced solutions to reduce greenhouse gases over time.
Planting took place in several areas in Arizona during spring 2010. This map pinpoints the locations.
