Information about the project
Why the project was created?
Do you drive a car? At the same time, do you know that the landscape needs to compensate for our comfort with something so that it does not suffer? Then you've come to the right place! We are providers of highway signs that are not indifferent to our nature. Because we know that nature is our wealth, for every highway stamp you buy from us, we will set aside part of the money and plant trees for them!
You can find more about the project and the number of trees planted
How can you participate in our project?
- Using the czdalnice service, you can contribute to offsetting the CO2 emissions that are produced when driving a car.
- We invest the income from this service in non-governmental projects of planting long-lived wild trees in the Czech Republic and around the world.
Important information, we are not an official seller of highway stamps. The official seller is edalnice.cz. We are a value-added reseller by making a donation to plant a tree from every highway sign purchased.
Launch of the Plant 4 Planet project for planting trees
Forests currently cover about 30% of the land surface and are of inestimable importance for life on Earth. Forests play an undeniable role in shaping the climate by producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide - one of the main gases whose increased concentration contributes to the intensification of the greenhouse effect and possible global climate change.
Humanity has been using forests as a source of valuable raw materials for several millennia. More than half of the harvested wood is used as fuel, as well as in the construction industry, in the furniture industry, and for the production of pulp and paper. Some types of trees are the source of cork (cork oak), latex from the rubber tree, then quinine from the bark of the cinchona tree, which is used against malaria, resin from pine trees, etc.
If properly managed, forests are a renewable resource. A forest destroyed by fire has the ability to regenerate naturally. In the case of large-scale felling of tropical rainforests or in the case of damage to forest ecosystems by emissions, forest biomass cannot be easily restored and forests are declining.
Deforestation can have very serious consequences for climate conditions on a local, regional and global scale. As a result of deforestation and changes in the nature of the active surface, there may be an increase in the extremity of the climate, changes in the spatial distribution of a number of meteorological elements. Another serious consequence of deforestation is the intensification of erosion processes, when water is not absorbed enough on deforested areas, erosion grooves are formed and the water that accumulated in the forested landscape quickly disappears from the landscape. The result of these portions can be gradual desertification and expansion of desert areas. Acceleration of runoff in deforested areas can lead to catastrophic floods. Changes in biodiversity in forest ecosystems and processes of soil degradation are also closely related to deforestation processes.

Representatives of 141 countries pledged to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030. Stopping deforestation is one of the insurmountable conditions for stopping global warming below the critical value of 1.5°C. They are in no way legally binding, enforceable, and we have similar and never fulfilled promises from the past in our living memory.
Planting trees does not only reduce CO2 produced by cars. It also provides a home for many animal species and insects that are essential for maintaining the global natural cycle.
Do you want to contribute to our project? but have you already purchased a highway stamp on another portal? never mind.. we have a solution for you, you can also contribute through our contribution link, which can also be shared on social networks. The price of the contribution is in the range of 4 - 6 EUR, the same amount as the current contribution eco-fee for the highway stamps we offer.
