For every Caliber user, every year, we plant{' '} five native trees{' '} in Aotearoa.
AI has a carbon cost. So does cloud, so does a laptop, so does an office. The honest math says each Caliber user is about half a tonne of CO2 a year, all in. Five native rākau — planted through{' '} Trees That Count{' '} — offsets that four times over. We pay for it; it's included in your subscription.
Tāne Mahuta — the largest living kauri — is roughly 2,000 years old. He's still standing because generations of Māori and Pākehā decided, over and over, that he mattered more than what could be made from him.
Trees That Count partners with iwi, hapū, schools, landowners and community groups across Aotearoa to plant native trees — kauri, tōtara, rimu, pōhutukawa, kahikatea. Not pine monoculture. Native forest, the kind that sequesters carbon for centuries and shelters species that exist nowhere else on earth.
Planting native forest is the least we can do — literally the minimum, once you look at the numbers — and it's the most tangible climate action available to a company our size.
Offsetting isn't removing. We're adding native forest to counter our weight on the earth. When direct air capture gets cheap enough to be honest about, we'll layer it on top.
