Questions, answered with evidence.

A concise guide to what Oxygen Footprints does today, what the public ledger supports, and how to get involved.

What does Oxygen Footprints do?

Oxygen Footprints works with host institutions and local volunteers on site-specific planting activations, then retains a public field record with details such as location, date, species mix, planting count, and available media.

What impact is documented publicly?

The current project ledger contains 44 records spanning 2022–2024. The itemized totals across those records add up to 4,073 plants. The redesign uses that auditable ledger total rather than unsupported aggregate claims.

Are these certified carbon offsets?

No. The public repository does not provide certification, permanence, survival monitoring, or verification required for an offset claim. Oxygen Footprints presents the work as community planting and field documentation.

How can an institution host a project?

Use the partnership form on the homepage and share your organization, location, available land, timeline, and goals. The team can then explore whether the site is a practical fit.

Can I volunteer?

Yes. Submit the volunteer form with your location and contact details so the team can connect you with relevant opportunities.

What evidence should future projects publish?

At minimum: the host site, location, date, species and quantities, total planted, field media, and a clear local owner. Survival and maintenance follow-ups are an important next step for the public ledger.
