Fun Fact Friday

According to Google AI it takes around 205 trees to offset the carbon footprint of the average human over a lifetime.

We need to plant more trees!
Especially when you consider that the US average is more than three times the global average.
Globally, the average is 4.8 metric tons of carbon dioxide produced per year, per person. In the US, the average is 16 metric tons per year, per person.

Additionally, conifers (pines and firs) can have a greater offset due to their rapid growth. However, naturally diverse forests tend to have a greater offset than mono-cultural farms.
