We do definitely the best job in the world, we are sure. And we are also sure that you think that too, saw the enthusiasm with which you follow us on social media and in our slow rids in the sky. And Gaia think that too, the Mother Earth, that look kindly upon us and let us find a a little place in which land gently. She tells us that especially in the northern emisphere, where we float, we offer to her a little bit of color, because here, there aren't tropical birds, which when they move it looks like Rio's carnival, as varied as they are.
Why do you use propane, which by the way isn't sold at the market ?" We have tried to explain to her that it would be a bit difficult fill the tanks with pineapples, but she doesn't want to know anything about technicalities ( like all mothers, we love her the way she is, also if she a bit down to earth).
So we have promised to her something: it is true, we will continue burning gas and diesel, that balloons and cars (which follow the ballons) need, but we will try to remedy in some way: for this reason we have decided to address part of our receipts to the planting of new trees, which are the perfect machine to recover the CO2 producted by combustion of our thrusters- fortunately hot air balloons don't generate others pollutants.
We have started by joining the Tree Nation project, a social network which aims to collaborate and monitor different local projects, scattered in the whole world, that besides having a positive impact in the environment, try to improve life conditions of the people who is responsable: it is possible that in the future we will take care of other type of engagement in this sense.
Anyway, we already have a little forest, that will be increased every year; you can find it here: https://tree-nation.com/it/profilo/giroinmongolfiera-srl.
In addition, at local level, we have started planting of Pauwlonie, in collaboration with https://www.paulownia4planet.com/, trees at fast growth, which present a lot of qualities: the most relevant is the remarkable capacity of absorption of carbon dioxide, necessary to develop the stem. Moreover, their wood can be used for building and arev used as ornamental trees. Fossil remains of these trees were found in the places we fly over, evidence that they integrate well with the Piedmontese flora. We have started with the first specimens in Trinità, at friendly structures; also in this case, the project is about increasing year by year...
