The scientific evidence is in -- climate change is real. Trees absorb carbon dioxide when they grow so every tree that's planted offsets carbon dioxide emissions and helps stabilize the Earth's climate.

Advance Savings Credit Union is committed to reducing our environmental footprint and making the world a better place for the next generation.

In support of Earth Day on April 22, ASCU donated Aspen trees to six local schools: Edith Cavell Elementary, Hillcrest Elementary, West Riverview Elementary, Port Elgin Regional, Petitcodiac Regional, and JMA Armstrong.

"We are committed to supporting these schools in many different ways throughout the course of the year," says Jennifer Marr, Community Promotions Officer for Advance Savings Credit Union.

"In light of global warming and climate change, giving each of the schools a tree to help offset our carbon emissions is one way that we are able to help ensure the stability of the Earth for the next generation of students."

Advance Savings Credit Union branch managers will make their tree presentations to the principals of the schools throughout the course of the week.
