Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The olive tree is a symbol of Mediterranean civilizations. It originally comes from the geographical area of the Near East. It is distinguished by a silvery foliage and a rugged and often-hollow trunk. The olive tree is planted in Sicily in lands confiscated from the Mafia to give trust and opportunity to those who refuse to back down.
Meaning
Wisdom
Considered by the ancients as a gift of the gods, the olive tree represents peace, knowledge, and wisdom.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 45 kg
2015
0 kg
2025
-50 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
