Fast Facts

Why Trees? Trees are carbon sequesters, they absorb and store CO2 plus, they produce oxygen, purify our air and water. 32% of all greenhouse gases are offset by the land sector, forests provide 90% of the national carbon capture in the US. How many Trees are needed to offset the average American carbon footprint? 1,025 Trees. Each tree absorbs about 31lbs. of carbon dioxide a year.

Carbon offsetting: A carbon offset is a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide or other gases made in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere.

Ways to be mindful

We directly produce carbon dioxide when we drive a car or take a flight, we also indirectly produce carbon dioxide when we eat food that has been produced with artificial fertilizers and pesticides, (which are made from oil.)
