⍋ 169 ☁ -14.5mt of CO₂
Have you told your mom that you appreciate her lately? Offset her emissions for a year so she can go about life without thinking about her impact on Mother Earth. We can't guarantee you'll rise to the position of her favorite child, but it'll definitely give you an edge.
THE MATH
169 verified trees are required to sequester the 14.5 metric tons (32,000 pounds) of CO2 emitted by the average American each year by 2030.
THE SCIENCE
One mangrove tree sequesters ~679.7 pounds or ~0.31 metric tons over its 25 year growth period. We believe that carbon neutrality by 2030 is the ambitious goal we should all be striving toward. That’s why we’re using a seven year time period to calculate how many verified trees are needed to sequester the carbon emitted from different actions. In seven years, one mangrove can absorb 189.7 pounds or 0.09 metric tons of carbon.
After those initial seven years all of the carbon you emitted will be sequestered. Over the next 18 years the verified trees you planted will continue to absorb and store carbon.
HOW WE VERIFY YOUR TREES ARE PLANTED!
Planters on the ground use verification technology to monitor and track the time of planting as well as the geo-coordinates of every tree planted. Utilizing blockchain technology, this information is uploaded to a database so that we can ensure all of your trees are planted and monitor real climate impact and survivability over time.
