Answer 6

do you walk?

ride the bus?

drive an SUV?

how far?

in addition, how are you acquiring the trees?

buying them?

buying a couple acres of forest that contains trees?

you only erase your footprint if your trees grow enough in a year to absorb all of the carbon you produce in a year.

however, the gasoline you use in 1 car may contain 2-3-4 tons of carbon.

(that's 8-12-16 tons of CO2.)

http://www.epa.gov/sequestration/faq.htm...

<<Changes in forest management (e.g., lengthening the harvest-regeneration cycle) generally result in less carbon sequestration on a per acre basis. Changes in cropping practices, such as from conventional to conservation tillage, have been shown to sequester about 0.1 – 0.3 metric tons of carbon per acre per year>>

so, maybe you need 60 acres of growing forest.

that's growing, not old growth where trees die and release the carbon that they sequestered.

Answer 7

Depends... You don't work for a logging company do you, cuz then the answer is you can't plant enough. If your a regular person just plant a few in your yard. some is better than none.
