Extreme_biker0 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 So what does this actually mean? How much does a tree absorb? There was no question asking how many trees I planted last year was there!The answer is none. But i'd like to think if i did do it i would get credit.

Matt_Tupman Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 21.09 for a house of 6 not bad but it is double the national average.Stange it doesn't take recycling into account as we do loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 14.46 for my house, around ten of which came from cars.What have I learned?Having 6 cars in one household is not condusive to a low carbon footprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got 12.39 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better for the environment but won't make any difference to your personal additions to CO2.1.86 tonnes per year for me, and it'll have been that (and less) for at least 5 years, ignoring the one return flight to Mallorca I've had in that time. I got 0 for the transport bit, chuffed with that, almost makes the cycling everywhere worth it I think I've earned my holiday flight in summer, built up a nice deficit of unfulfilled CO2 emissions. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Anybody know how much your average tree absorbs? Or how many trees I should plant to counteract my pollution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
