Carbon Offsetting - One pine tree is felled to produce on average 3 White Pavilion gazebo’s and the Swedish government stipulate that 8 pine trees will be planted to replace the one tree felled. And at White Pavilion to help offset our carbon footprint further we sponsor the planting of 5 additional trees in Ethiopia for each and every gazebo we sell. This means that a total of 23 trees are planted for every ONE felled. When you consider that your individual carbon footprint is about 11 trees per annum, our carbon offsetting replaces the carbon footprint for 2 people for a year. Nice, isn’t it.
