Can you post information about this, especially the math? According to US stats I've seen it requires an acre of growing forest to offset 100 US gallons of gas per year.[0] We have a long commute (which I'm working on cutting) so we need about 8 acres to offset fully.

Edit: added missing units.
- radicalbyte 8y agoI used one of the carbon offset sites, this one: carbonfootprint.com
- hodgesrm 8y agoThank you. Their numbers match the EPA numbers.
- dhimes 8y agoI'm honestly surprised that site's still up.
- hodgesrm 8y agoI was too. Perhaps an editing mistake?
