Environmental Investments Offered By Silva Tree

There have always been good organizations out there that are dedicated to a particular cause. If there is some kind of injustice, or something bad is happening, then enough people will usually notice and form an organization to counter it. There are examples of this all over the world. Take Greenpeace, for example, or Silva Tree. Silva Tree is an excellent organization that I came across a few weeks ago – they offer a number of investments related to the environment that are extremely beneficial. The investments that Silva Tree offers are excellent for people that want a steady return on their investment, and have a desire to do something good for the environment as well.

One of Silva Tree’s most successful offers yet is the so called ‘Princess Project’. This has been open since September 2009, and is a sustainable timber plantation that has an ROI of over 15% per annum. This is very impressive for an investment of this type. Not only does the Princess Project offer steady returns, but it gives a lot of benefits to surrounding communities and the environment. One other advantage of the Princess Project is that they pay returns every five years (many other investments do are not this frequent).

If you are interested in Silva Tree’s Princess Project (and you probably should be), there are application forms on their website. But there are a number of causes that Silva Tree is dedicated to that you will support when you invest with them, and they always abide by all laws and standards. An example of Silva Tree helping out local communities would be their efforts to repair the Escuela Cano Zapota. Silva Tree takes care to work with local governments at all times.

One other investment worth taking a look at from Silva Tree is the Carbon Offset Forestry Project. Unfortunately this sold out in July 2009, so you won’t be able to take part in it now, but it did very while it was offered. It involved buying areas of rainforest in Costa Rica in order to prevent it from being destroyed. This sort of reminded me of when I booked a Qantas flight a while ago, and you could pay a tiny bit extra for them to plant a tree that would absorb some of the flight emissions. Rainforests and trees absorb CO2, which helps to offset global warming – but they also have an additional benefit of providing habitat.

On top of their Princess and Carbon Offset Forestry Projects, there are a number of other worthwhile and upcoming investments that Silva Tree offers. An investment of Silva Tree’s that really got me interested was their Bio-Fuel project. It is anticipated that bio-fuel will be useful for all kinds of things, and research is being conducting on it all the time. It has been proven already that bio-fuel has the ability to do things like create electricity.

A major factor contributing to Silva Tree’s success is the fact that they have some very good people directing the company. There are 3 main directors that oversee the development of Silva Tree, which includes Keren Katz, Patrick Visser and Maurice Sjerps. The most important thing in an organization dedicated to some kind of worthy cause is that everyone there believes in what they are doing.
