Reduce your carbon footprint Offset your Carbon Dioxide Emissions Did you know that the average American generates 7.5 tons of carbon dioxide every year! Carbon dioxide is emitted by burning fossil fuels from human activities such as driving, flying, and generating electricity. Trees are carbon sinks and absorb carbon dioxide from the air. A tree consumes carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and can actually offset your carbon output. Planting 312 trees can offset the carbon footprint produced by a single person!    |
