I did research on the feasibility of the project and it turns out that planting a tree for 1€ is impossible
https://www.reforestaction.com/ 9 millions trees planted since 2009 > As a reminder we need 1000 billion trees
https://www.coeurdeforet.com/ NGO plant in multiple countries > 720 000 trees in 2020
https://ishpingo.org/ NGO plant in amazonia > 400 000 trees since 2005
You can find many NGOs, they don't plant many trees quickly enough to effectively counter global warming
Wouldn't those link with summary of trees they planted just further disprove your claim that NGO only planted few millions of trees and actually do a favor to support my arguments that NGO planted hundreds of million of trees? And that, are NGOs alone. Shall we talk about GO?
COST OF A TREE12€ is an average cost, it may vary depending on several factors.
land in the countryside costs around € 25,000 in France for 10,000m2 2,5€ per m2
A minimum of 4m2 is needed for a tree to grow properly and to leave space for plants around
Which makes 10 € per tree
So a gardener can plant an average of 10 trees per hour. with a gross salary of 2300 €, that gives us a labor cost of 1.57 €
The price also depends on the type of tree you choose
1€ it's the price for a little tree ( 1.06 exactly for an order of 12.000 trees) 20-30 cm
You can check price here :
https://www.planfor.fr/achat,chene-liege,1033,FRthis tree is one of the cheapest and it is "resistant" to forest fires, he can reborn without help
but of course we can not only plant one species of trees, biodiversity is important
Total: 12.63 € without including water cost, tools, truck and maintenance Wait... I didn't know reforestation needs an organizational body to buy land? We're talking about reforestation here, right? The act of re-foresting what once a forest with trees? Perhaps you're referring to aforestation?
I understand that labor cost may occur, although many NGOs (and GOs) actually have volunteers working for their case, which, brings us to my original question: why should people use your swap platform instead of other existing ones, and for the green-goers (which predictably will be your main market), why should they use your service, that includes land cost and labor cost in their budget, while out there exists green organizations (bigger and more established ones also more diverse, be it NGOs or GOs) that's supported by volunteers, that can cut down unnecessary costs?
I am sorry that I have to ask this, but do you have any experience on forestation activity before? You do aware that planfor were a platform that sell trees for gardening purpose, right? For commercial and aesthetic purpose and not for social forestation ones? I didn't speak French, so I can't be sure what the french website said, but the UK ones clearly imply their purpose.
