RAYMOND, Ohio, May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Honda today announced the planting of 85,000 trees in Union County, Ohio as part of the company's latest effort to enhance biodiversity and reduce its environmental footprint. The 85,000 trees planted on 100 acres of Honda-owned land along the Flat Branch Creek near its Marysville Auto Plant, East Liberty Auto Plant and Auto Development Center will increase the company's carbon sequestration efforts, improve existing riparian buffers, and serve as home for a diverse group of insects, animals, birds and plants. The native trees will be known as the "Honda Power of Dreams Forest."
俄亥俄州雷蒙德，2024年5月1日 /PRNewswire/ — 本田今天宣佈在俄亥俄州尤恩縣種植8.5萬棵樹，這是該公司爲增強生物多樣性和減少其環境足跡所做的最新努力的一部分。在Flat Branch Creek沿線的馬里斯維爾汽車工廠、東自由汽車廠和汽車開發中心附近的100英畝本田自有土地上種植了85,000棵樹，這將加大公司的碳封存力度，改善現有的河岸緩衝區，併成爲各種昆蟲、動物、鳥類和植物的家園。這些原生樹木將被稱爲 “本田夢想森林之力”。
Honda is working with a neighboring farm to develop a tree-based system focused on maple trees for syrup production.
本田正在與鄰近的農場合作開發一種以楓樹爲重點的樹基系統，用於糖漿生產。
As part of this work, Honda partnered with a local farmer to implement USDA conservation agricultural practices that will help strengthen water quality in the Flat Branch Creek. Honda also is working with a neighboring farm to develop a tree-based system focused on maple trees for syrup production. This not only creates another sustainable local source of maple syrup but also aligns with the farm's existing agricultural activities and the environmental efforts Honda is promoting. Ultimately, the syrup will be made available for sale at a local farmers market, further strengthening local sustainability.
作爲這項工作的一部分，本田與當地農民合作，實施了美國農業部的保護性農業措施，這將有助於改善Flat Branch Creek的水質。本田還正在與鄰近的農場合作開發一種以楓樹爲重點的樹基系統，用於糖漿生產。這不僅創造了另一種可持續的當地楓糖漿來源，而且與農場現有的農業活動和本田正在推動的環境努力相一致。最終，糖漿將在當地農貿市場上出售，進一步加強當地的可持續性。
"These trees represent the Power of Dreams of our Honda associates who identified a beneficial way to capture carbon and support Ohio's water quality goals," said Larry Geise, executive vice president of Honda Development & Manufacturing of America. "Initiatives like this will not only help Honda reach our goal to be carbon neutral by 2050 but will also help enhance the local ecosystem and support local farms."
美國本田開發與製造執行副總裁拉里·蓋斯說：“這些樹木代表了我們本田員工夢想的力量，他們找到了捕獲碳和支持俄亥俄州水質目標的有益方法。”“這樣的舉措不僅可以幫助本田實現到2050年實現碳中和的目標，而且還有助於增強當地生態系統和支持當地農場。”
Honda recently held a celebratory event at its Auto Development Center with associates and state officials where they had the opportunity to plant a tree to symbolize the effort to enhance biodiversity and carbon capture in the area.
本田最近在其汽車開發中心與同事和州官員舉行了一場慶祝活動，他們有機會種了一棵樹，以象徵着該地區爲增強生物多樣性和碳捕集所做的努力。
"This project advances Governor DeWine's commitment to enhance Ohio's most abundant natural resource," said Anne Vogel, director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. "These trees will act as a natural filtration system, ensuring the water in the streams remains clean and healthy. Today's event reflects Honda's tangible investment in this local community where the company has taken root."
俄亥俄州環境保護局局長安妮·沃格爾說：“該項目推進了州長德威恩對改善俄亥俄州最豐富的自然資源的承諾。”“這些樹木將充當天然過濾系統，確保溪流中的水保持清潔和健康。今天的活動反映了本田對公司扎根的當地社區的有形投資。”
The trees planted by Honda are native to Ohio and include Hazelnut, Hickory, Maple, Oak and Sycamore, all of which contribute to the local agroforestry system. Honda is also exploring how the Maple and Hazelnut trees can be made accessible to Honda associates who want to utilize the syrup and nuts of those perennial plantings.
本田種植的樹木原產於俄亥俄州，包括榛子、山胡桃木、楓樹、橡樹和梧桐樹，所有這些樹木都爲當地的農林業系統做出了貢獻。本田還在探索如何讓想要利用這些多年生種植的糖漿和堅果的本田員工能夠獲得楓樹和榛子樹。
"This 'Honda Power of Dreams Forest' is representative of what you can do at Honda," said Joel Agner, the tree-planting project leader. "If you have a dream and can illustrate how it serves our customers and strengthens our society, Honda will support you in making that dream come true."
植樹項目負責人喬爾·阿格納說：“這個'本田夢想森林之力'代表了你在本田能做的事情。”“如果你有夢想，能夠說明它如何爲我們的客戶服務並加強我們的社會，那麼本田將支持你實現這個夢想。”
About Honda's Commitment to the Environment
關於本田對環境的承諾
Honda is working toward its global goal of zero environmental impact by 2050 through its "Triple Action to Zero" approach, including achieving carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities, 100% utilization of renewable energy, and resource circulation, utilizing 100% sustainable materials by reprocessing products back to raw materials and reusing those materials in the creation of new products. Toward this goal, Honda will strive to make battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles represent 100% of auto sales in the U.S. and globally by 2040.
本田正通過其 “三重行動實現零排放” 方針，努力實現到2050年實現零環境影響的全球目標，包括實現所有產品和企業活動的碳中和、100% 利用可再生能源和資源流通、通過將產品再加工回原材料來利用 100% 可持續材料，並將這些材料重複用於開發新產品。爲了實現這一目標，本田將努力使電池電動汽車和燃料電池電動汽車在2040年之前佔美國和全球汽車銷量的100％。
To reduce the environmental impact of its business operations, Honda also is offsetting CO2 emissions from its North American manufacturing operations through long-term virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) for renewable wind and solar power that seek to cover more than 60% of the electricity Honda uses in North America. Honda also promotes environmentally responsible business practices with its suppliers and retail dealer partners across North America.
爲了減少其業務運營對環境的影響，本田還抵消了二氧化碳2 通過可再生風能和太陽能的長期虛擬電力購買協議（VPPA），其北美製造業務產生的排放，這些協議旨在覆蓋本田在北美使用的電力的60％以上。本田還與北美各地的供應商和零售經銷商合作伙伴一起推廣對環境負責的商業行爲。
