Your carbon footprint.
Tree planting sounds nice in theory, but there’s more to it.
Hard truths about tree planting
A little tree absorbs less CO2 than a big hundred-year-old tree.
Typically a tree can take at least 10 years to start carbon capture.
When you throw in factors like the species of the tree, where it lives, how much sun it gets, and how healthy it is, the answer will be a little different each time.
Tree planting is just one part of the solution.
