In order to help offset their carbon footprint, a range of trees have been planted at the agricultural arm of a Bridgwater College by twenty families who have earlier entered an environmental competition at the college. This initiative was taken by the college department to make them more aware about environmental problems.

The families went to the Cannington Centre for Land-Based Studies for planting a variety of native British trees, an accolade for their green awareness in the event held at the Royal Bath and West Show earlier this summer.

It is no wonder that drives for planting trees, reducing the carbon through vehicles, and similar issues are picking up in UK, and more and more people are showing great interest in this issue. The Cannington Centre for Land-Based studies showed a similar interest and it is no wonder that it received a good response to its initiative from many British families.

"At a time when climate change issues are high on the political and social agenda we are very aware of helping our students and the community understand the impact of greenhouse gasses and the so-called carbon footprint", said the vice-principal of the college, Mike Robbins.

The college vice-principal added, "We were very pleased that so many families took the opportunity to learn more about these environmental issues and entered our competition".

Planting trees is believed to be the only process that Britishers can adopt for carbon offsetting or canceling the effect of carbon by some margin.
