Stripping a cork oak tree of its bark enhances its ability to absorb carbon dioxide; the seven million acres of cork forest around the Mediterranean offset 20 million tons of CO2 each year. The harvesting of cork does not affect the normal growth of the trees. The cork harvesting process requires a 9-year interval between each harvest. Also, Cork is a vegan friendly alternative to leather.
