How many trees do you need to compensate for your carbon footprint? More than you think! Although an adult tree could even recapture over 20 kg of CO2 per year, not every planted tree will reach maturity due to natural causes. 🌱 Calculating our impact, we include not only aboveground and belowground biomass increase, and carbon land losses, but also survivability rates of trees, so you don't have to worry that some of them won't grow old – it’s already accounted for. It is also important to note that average greenhouse gas emissions per person are measured in tons, which seems a lot, but each of us may offset them through systematic action. Through the handy estimator on our website, you can check how many trees you need to offset average emissions in your country and start planting a whole forest with just a few clicks! 🌳 🌳 🌳
