Chadwick Textiles have decided to take action by combating global warming as a part of the Action Not Excuses Tree Planting Challenge and we need your help! 

In Autumn 2018 we partnered with the youth led sustainable development charity, Raleigh international. Focusing on programs to empower youths to reduce deforestation in Tanzania. These have been hugely successful for both the local communities, habitat regeneration and carbon off-setting through the planting of over 360,000 trees! 

Reversing deforestation is the number-one strategy for stopping global warming. With the current rate of deforestation, the worlds rainforests will be gone in less than 100 years. Trees are the best at capturing carbon that humans and other organisms produce and fight the consequences of a changing climate. Up to 15 billion trees are cut down globally each year. This is not sustainable for wildlife, people or for the climate.

To raise funds for Raleigh International and Action Not Excuses we are bringing the fight closer to home by planting trees in Alderley edge on the 27th of November 2021. The team here at Chadwick's will be getting hands on by planting and taking care of enough trees and hedgerows to fill 4 tennis courts. Our target is to plant 100 trees and we are hoping to raise £50 per tree planted. These will capture up to 2 metric tons of carbon and help to combat the ever rising threat of global warming. Together with Raleigh International we have achieved a lot to reduce deforestation and with your help and sponsorship we would like to achieve a lot more. Please help us to become tree planting champions! 

With this funding, Action Not Excuses, along with Raleigh will bring together and help fund youth-led campaigns, exciting green initiatives, and new environmental projects so young people can lead and take climate action where they are. They focus on supporting young people in the countries and communities most vulnerable to the impacts of climate and environmental change, helping them to create real solutions. This is what your money could go towards:

1. £10 could go towards establishing recycle points and schemes to reduce plastic. 
2. £50 could go towards producing low-cost prosthetic limbs out of recycled plastics.
   
3. £100 could provide technical training to a young entrepreneur, enabling them to establish their own green business.
4. £800 could build a brand-new tree nursery housing 15,000 saplings ready to be transported and planted.

The climate crisis is real

So are the solutions 

It is time for action not excuses 

Tomorrow is too late
