We plant trees when you come and train at our live sessions and as you smash your health and fitness targets! This is facilitated through our amazing partners . Eden plant trees across the planet in several locations, but the mangrove trees planted in Madagascar, Haiti and Indonesia, are the focus of this post.
🌱
Scientific studies have shown that Mangroves are one of the most effective and economic methods of offsetting carbon emissions, and sequester carbon at a rate two to four times greater than mature tropical forests. Each mangrove tree planted by YOU removes over 308kg of CO2 from the atmosphere over the growth life of the tree, an average of 12.3kg per year per tree.
👏🏼
Mangroves are also renowned for being a key part of coastal ecosystems, they provide nurseries for countless species of fish, protect the coastline from erosion, and guard against storms/tsunamis.�🐠🐡🐟
So come and join us this week on Insta Live, get fit and plant a tree, starting from tomorrow at 18:15 for our Level 1-2 HIIT class. On Tuesday we have Level 3-5 HIIT, Yoga on Wednesday, mobility on Sunday. These sessions are free and are a gift to you from during these tough times. 💚
