You could also plant 100 trees every month for the same amount, and in 5 years you would have a small forest + removed 1079 tons of C02 instead of 60.
In 10 years, you would have 12000 trees and removed 4283 tons of C02 instead of 120.
Trees are not really the best carbon removal tool that one could hope for, but at least they're a decent comparison.
PS: Very approximate carbon removal per tree per year rate of 5.9kg. Bigger trees can remove more carbon (>22kg for a 10yo tree) and the tree species also have a role to play, but you get the point, climeworks effectiveness is extremely small and you're lighting piles of cash on fire.
