Here are some key points to consider: - The average American emits about 16.5 tons of CO2 per year, which is equivalent to the emissions from about 46 barrels of oil or approximately 22,046 pounds of coal. To offset this amount of CO2, one person would need to plant 725 to 1,000 trees per year. - However, the number of trees needed to offset emissions varies depending on the type of trees planted and their location. For example, trees planted in tropical and subtropical regions tend to sequester more carbon dioxide than those planted in other regions. - Not all trees sequester the same amount of carbon dioxide from the air. Some trees are better than others at storing carbon. A carbon offset tree planting calculator can provide specific information about the number of trees needed to remove carbon emissions for any action. - The cost of planting trees also varies depending on the project. On average, land and tree planting costs vary from project to project, but average $4.50 per ton. - Planting new trees is not the only solution to offsetting carbon emissions. Preserving existing forests is often a more efficient way to have a larger effect for the same effort. Trees also need nutrients from the soil like nitrogen and phosphorus to grow, and if the soil does not have enough, that could curtail how much new CO2 a tree is able to store. - While planting trees is part of the solution to climate change, there are more important ones. For example, reducing carbon emissions from transportation, industry, and energy production are critical to mitigating climate change. In summary, the number of trees needed to offset CO2 emissions depends on several factors, and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. A carbon offset tree planting calculator can provide specific information about the number of trees needed to remove carbon emissions for any action. However, planting new trees is not the only solution to offsetting carbon emissions, and it is important to focus on preserving existing forests as well as reducing carbon emissions from various sources. — — — — Web Links [1 or 3 pages] How many trees do we need to plant to stop climate change? | World ... https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/08/planting-trees-combat-climate-change + This means that if each person in the U.S. planted one tree per year it would offset only about 3% of the carbon dioxide they produce each year, after all ...
