The state of the environment has become a very hot topic lately. It’s funny how no one even knew what global warming even was a few decades ago. 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 are seeing see levels rise (due to melting of icebergs) and average temperatures steadily increasing.

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. Now this sounds like a great idea, because not only will you be helping the environment, but you actually get a solid investment that is going to make you some very good returns per annum. The investments you’ll get from Silva Tree are ideal for people that want to help the environment, but don’t want to lose money by donating large sums. With Silva Tree it is a win-win.

The investments and activities conducted by Silva Tree directly counter global warming. Two of Silva Tree’s main investment packages – their timber investment project and Princess Project – are designed to plant new trees and protect existing forest land. Unfortunately the Princess Project is no longer available to invest in, but it worked very well while it was offered. Rainforests take in CO2 and therefore reduce the effects of global warming, which is why environmental organizations often focus on planting trees. One of the more compelling investment programs from Silva Tree is their timber investment plan. The investor takes ownership of a large plot of land with 660 trees per hectare, and is able to harvest and sell timber on their land.

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. Apart from the main directors (Maurice Sjerps, Patrick Visser and Keren Katz) there are many others that support the organization and take part in the various investments offered.
