Future Forests

Future Forests for a CarbonNeutral world!

From the CarbonNeutral web site: “Here you can calculate your CO2 emissions, learn how to reduce them, and buy products and gifts which soak up or compensate for unavoidable emissions - like tree planting and ‘green’ energy in developing countries.”

This is an awesome site that lets you pay back in trees some of the pullution you cause daily! An excellent concept.

Try the carbon calculator to see the damage you are doing. You can enter the size of your car’s engine and how far you travel and it will tell you how many pounds of CO2 you produce/year and how many trees you need to plant to make up for it. For example, if you have a 1.6 to 2.0 litre engine and travel about 250 miles/week then you need to plant 6 trees/year just to make up for this!
