Dec. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- Brussels, 22 December 2014 – During the month of December 2014, EURid teamed up with the Spanish non-profit organisation FAPAS, known for its numerous activities relating to nature conservation, in order to cap its CO2 emissions.

Through the program ‘+BEARS –CO2’ EURid made its contribution towards climate protection while also helping to protect the European brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) located in the Cantabrian mountains, Spain.

‘Since 2011 we have endeavored to become greener with regard to each of the actions we develop. This is just one of the many ways in which we demonstrate our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint’commented EURid External Relations Manager Giovanni Seppia.

A total of 320 fruit trees (compensating for the equivalent of five tonnes of carbon emitted annually over the space of 20 years) were planted in Proaza, Asturias, contributing to increased biodiversity in the region, home to the beloved species.

This project was organised by Naturefund for the third year in a row. Katja Wiese, director of Naturefund stated: ‘I am really happy about this ongoing cooperation with EURid and the possibility to plant trees in different places with different partners in Europe. Thus, we not only do our share in terms of climate protection but also strengthen the European network of climate activists.’
