What does the rise in Carbon Emissions (Co2e) levels mean to you & the planet?

Carbon levels in the atmosphere are exponentially rising. Co2e is the primary greenhouse gas. The rise in carbon is caused by many factors such as use of fossil fuels, agriculture, fast fashion, air travel and deforestation. Rising Co2e causes the planet to heat up and accelerate climate change.

Our Story


Greenpaw is part of Green Paw Project, a UK registered charity.


Green Paw Project was founded by Stephen Chesters back in November 2015 out of a passion for animal welfare and the environment. Over the years, Green Paw Project has successfully carried out several projects across the world from spaying and neutering street dogs and cats, to dog rehabilitation, to earthquake emergency care, to mass litter picking conservation in the UK.


Between the years of 2017 to 2020 Stephen and the Green Paw Project team had their sights on plans to build an animal sanctuary in Malawi, Africa. Then the pandemic hit and this changed the direction in its entirety. During this time of reflection Green Paw Project changed plans from setting up an animal sanctuary in Malawi and focused its plans on regenerating lands, protecting the worlds forest/rainforests and protecting as much biodiversity as possible.


Why did we change our direction? Right now, the world faces a potential mass extinction with vast quantities of biodiversity and tree/plant life being wiped out indefinitely causing the rise of carbon throughout the atmosphere, wild weather, depletion of oxygen levels and subsequently a threat upon humanity itself.


Green Paw Project has now partnered with ecological expert, Oli Smithies who. Together Stephen, Oli and the growing team of Green Paw Project will do all they can in the resistance of climate change and preventing the destruction of our forests/trees/plants and the demise of biodiversity.


A new branch has grown from Green Paw Project, and sprouted; Greenpaw. Greenpaw was launched in early 2023 after over two years in the making. Simultaneously during these years, Green Paw Project has carried out several beach clean ups in the UK, and also has plans to create a hub of conservation activities and education Green Paw Hive. The journey continues….

How can you help? Primarily reducing your carbon footprint by making lifestyle changes, and also offsetting the carbon footprint you make each month.


By offsetting your carbon footprint you are helping regenerate landscapes and aid in the protection of current forest ecosystems. Which are fundamental in the future of planet earth, its species and for you and your family.
