Imagine the carbon emissions for digging up and relocating thousands of trees

Imagine someone came to your door and said "give me £25 and I'll plant a tree somewhere, trust me"

This segment is a great example of Peter Jones' mathematical skills! With no calculator!🤗😄

The cost of uprooting and moving a mature tree would generate a huge amount of carbon, this guy could be his own best customer if he bought trees to offset his own carbon foot print. Also, if he abandons the land and the trees are individually owned then the landowner could quite possibly pursue the owners for the cost of clearing the land.

He lost the plot when he said that they could potentially uproot all the trees and move them to another site.

What’s a tree’s favorite dating app? Timber.

I don't understand why you wouldn't just donate to something like Plant a Billion Trees and get a tax deduction at the same time

'I'm dissapointed that the dragons didn't see the investment opportunity.' Yeah that's what it was mate 😂

These little scams are hilarious, you guys should do a 30 minute scam special

Fields are about £30k btw.. the owner is drooling over all that timber they're going to grow free of charge.. I think 200K maybe to stop him from buying it? (the rent being 6K a year is a good example how affordable fields are lol)

His company is £80k underwater so the £70k would have come in handy.

Dragons were asking him to provide more financial information... But he woodn't do that.

Reducing carbon footprint by relocating trees. lol.

Not a single sell or even projection? What was this guy thinking?

The fact that once he walked out he still didn’t realise how much of a mistake he made not knowing his forecast shows that he was a terrible person to invest in!! What a delusional guy, forget numbers couldn’t even give tree number forecasts and then saying the dragons didn’t get it! What a joke

He still didn't understand in the end. There is nothing to prove them wrong about. They liked the idea. But they are also investors, so they wanted to understand the business model and see a projection about when they might get their money back. He came in with an app that hasn't launched yet. He had no idea about the market, that is, how many trees people might buy in a year. No investor in their right mind would ever give him money after such a pitch.

this particular guy tried to start a ponzi scheme, and the dragons saw right through it.

Why is there never live demo of the apps for the dragons? Do they invest blindly lol

THIS IS WHY PETER IS MY FAVOURITE DRAGON. LOOK AT HIM GO!!

Dragons den, please don't use spoiler alerts in your titles! We like the suspense of not knowing the outcome 🤓

Makes me think of the old system of letter of indulgence.

I would very much like to know what's on the land now, in the picture it looks like grassland. *Here's the thing,* grassland reflects more sunlight than trees, thus lowering Earth's average temperature (or at least not increasing it). Grasslands have a very high biodiversity, forests in the Northern temperate region don't. Grass, like all plants, capture atmospheric carbon. If he's planning on planting trees on grassland he is doing the environment a disservice.

This programme just keeps getting better series by series.

Go and present your idea to Davos WEF

Carbon credits eh....not heard this agenda before nwo

This channel is like toffee crisp, somehow I end up enjoy it again and again at some point

Further proof that the human being is one of the stupidest creatures on Earth.

Sad that he had to leaf without an investment.

Clearly this guy didn t want a deal but free advertisement. Im shocked the dragons didn t notice this.

Teamtrees can plant a tree for $1 🤔

Why wouldn't he buy a plot of land where the cost is much less, for example France? You could get an enormous plot for £200,000.

Create a subscription plan instead of selling entire plants. Simple.

hang on; doesnt a tree only offset 20kg of co2/yr and doesnt the average person produce 4 tonnes per year? Am i missing something?

I quite like Alex’s hair.

What astounding hubris this idea is!

Carbon Footprint 😂😂😂 oh boy!

How does he know how many he's going to sell?

I guess this answers the age old question, "If a Tree App fails to get a forest does it make a sound investment?"

He was the root problem hence no investment.

There are SO MANY carbon trading platforms. ie. Carbon Click.

What an interesting en-tree-preneur

Actually, some reports say that tree planting isn't all good. They often destroys the earth where they're planted, and its often foreign trees needing lots of water, like eucalyptus. Carbon is also stored in the ground. When they burn in fires, which trees often do, the carbon is let out in the atmosphere, while the ground still store it.

If you buy the land for 200K you have not spent 200K you have aquired assets in the company for 200K. He should however have a timelimit on the trees people buy, so he can do stuff with the land later on, or re-sell

This is where the tree planting scam who offered titles of lords and ladies got the idea from...

Does anyone think this guy looks like Seth MacFarlane

I have dreamt of this in my childhood

Too bad he didn't get tree dragons on board.

Just didn't twig wiff me!😂!!

this is just an elaborate cryptocurrency thing right? "carbon offset credits" "pool" and "banking app" sound very familiar

Well Alex, you Friar Tucked that

People are chopping down trees for firewood to keep warm.

Gentleman vibe

CDR’s and offsets $ not counted which is a mistake

Reminds me of Established Titles...

I wonder if he had he's numbers right would they of had invested in him hmmm interesting 🌲🌳🌴

Idea is excellent, business model tanked it

Carbon offset credits are such a scam

Carbon credit trading... isn't that regulated? I know that it is for companies.

Good idea but would be better if they just banned wooden fences and made hedges the norm.

You don't go unprepared into the den...

What's the problem with buying a couple of real trees for yourself instead of trusting some company to plant trees and you don't even know if they are doing it. Seems like stupidity with extra steps.

All these Dragons have a carbon footprint bigger then a small city. He will need a field to fill up what they use.

Is this Seth Mackfarlanes, (family guy) brother?

Werner Hertzog changed bodies but kept the voice?

Seth McFarlane looking well!

Trees won't do anything to eliminate co2 in the long term, ask Thunderf00t!

The first " Dragons' " in the title shouldn't have an apostrophe...

"you stole my childhood, how dare are you?" Gretta T.

What is 1+1? Well it depends

The new geen religion

green crusader doesnt want to use some of her money to help the planet.

Piers Morgan is looking well these days

Total denial to Hilton Food Group

even at the end he learned nothing

How in earth will this work?

Debbie: Do I get ClubCard or Nectar Points with this ??? Alex: I'm afraid not, Deborah. Debbie: In that case I'm out.

Grass already produces oxygen

The Government will pay millions for this business

Remember when the Catholic church sold indulgences? This is the modern version.

Get Alex Jones on this show 😂

Peter really did calculate this quickly. He escalated this to the non existing payment team

How can you go onto Dragons Den without being able to answer basic questions or demonstrate estimated projections? Pretty foolish to be honest.

Peter isn’t gonna r’invest

What a rubbish idea. I'm bored with carbon credits. The global system being implemented between countries means carbon credits can be 'transferred' between nations, so for example let's say that China pollute the atmosphere more than their allocated credit allows, then China simply go and buy credits from a small nation who's carbon footprint is relatively small and have plenty of spare credit to sell on.

Two words: Stew and pid.

Should of gone in 5 ways and run it at cost if there all so 'ethicaly' minded

Treemendous idea

Peter Jones has been un-ewe-sly quiet

Feel bad for the guy. All he had to do was give some sales forecasts which every dragon always asks in almost every pitch. Has he ever watched the program?

4:52 those bags under Tej Lalvanis eyes lol

Lol.. carbon credits are a scam. Carbon footprint is also a scam. Trying to control you.

Discount Seth Mcfarlane

On the bright side, this app won the Gayest App of the Year award so it's all good.

Perhaps I’m naive, but this seems a bit rubbish. The guy fairly well explained how he could turn a $400k profit per orchard. The dragons have been MUCH more approachable to presentations MUCH less viable quite often. People come to the den and part with high equity for expertise rather than going to a bank for a loan. I’m sure, of the 5 of them, at least one could have been a bit more helpful in projections. Essentially what they did was bark at him for being honest enough to state it’s pre-revenue and he doesn’t have a crystal ball of the future earnings. How is he supposed to do a thorough and reliable market analysis when he’s the first and only one? Of course it would be speculative and then I’m sure they would have dogged on him for pulling numbers out of the sky. Perhaps it was lost in editing, but also perhaps the dragons were ready for lunch.

Carbon bull

This would be perfect if it counted farts

Disappointed the dragons didn't see the investment opportunity... Mate you didn't give them any indication of what actual income was likely to be. Only desired income required income to break even and such. That is utterly pointless and just fantasising. Not even some form of educated projections.

He's right, the dragons didn't get it. They're thinking the business is over after the land is saturated with trees. He's thinking I'm going to keep selling the same trees over and over again...

Lol Package a scam up with nice colours and tech, it is still a scam

Meanwhile china bulids 100 new coal plants 😂😂
