There is room for 1.2T new trees to absorb more C than human emissions each year
- ph0rque 8y agoA few years ago, I did the math on planting trees to offset your carbon emissions, and came up with an affordable $15/year/person for the average US resident: http://shindyapin.tumblr.com/post/141034501197/climate-change-solution-simplified http://shindyapin.tumblr.com/post/141034501197/climate-chang... There was only one problem: it did not seem feasible to scale to the point of offsetting all of the human-caused CO2. Now, a new study says that is is feasible (see the original post link). I have been offsetting my family's carbon for the last four years. If you want to do so, as well, you can donate here: https://trees.org/carboncalculator/ https://trees.org/carboncalculator/
