ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Air quality, energy, & water supply

  • Trees are natural air purifiers. They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis. Our current 18,929 trees will produce over 3,000,000 pounds of oxygen annually, meeting the needs of over 23,000 people. These trees will also sequester an estimated 560,000 pounds of carbon, equivalent to the emissions from over 20,000 cars driven in a day.
  • Trees also provide significant energy savings by shading homes and reducing cooling needs. Our 18,929 trees have the potential to provide over 23 million square feet of shade, which is similar to the size of eight Liberty Parks in Salt Lake City!
  • Trees help alleviate drought conditions. Our waterwise landscaping approach ensures that we plant trees in areas that will maximize their impact. One large tree can release up to 400 gallons of water into the atmosphere in a day. The 18,929 trees planted by Ivory Homes can potentially release up to 4.4 million gallons of water into the atmosphere in a day.
“We care about the larger world we live in and our very own community. We conserve, we invest, and we remember that it is our responsibility to make Utah a better place.”
Clark and Christine Ivory

Power in numbers

Assuming an average planting time of 30 minutes per tree, it would take approximately 5,500 labor-hours to plant another 18,929 trees. To illustrate the grand impact over 30 years from just these 18,929 trees, imagine driving from the Utah State Capitol to the north shore of Utah Lake. Your entire drive is lined with beautiful, mature trees that provide shade on both sides of the street, from north to south, and everywhere in between. We invite you to join us at an upcoming planting and be part of this incredible initiative.
