Live trees absorb CO2 ; that's how the carbon offsets work. Plant trees to absorb the wanton production of CO2 that your Hummer just belched out. Did your dog fart? Plant a
tree! Carbon offsets are simply a payback for your wanton, conspicuous consumption and production of CO2, a deadly greenhouse gas that will end up causing worldwide chaos. Here's an example of how it works: Each gallon of gas contains 114,100 btu's of energy. That is equivalent to 16.3 lbs of good burning wood according to the chart below (114,100 ÷ 7,000). We are offering to grow enough wood in five years to produce the carbon offset that you need to feel like a concerned, sensitive, productive member of society. . |
|||||||
| So, here's the breakdown. If you are going to drive 12,000 miles in a year using 600 gallons of gas, you will require (600gls. x 114,100btus= 68.5 million btus. or 9,780 lbs of wood or 2.6 cords of firewood including air space in the stack. One cord of wood, 128 cu.ft. weighs about 3,800 lbs wet. Imagine the CO2 that will be absorbed by the equivalent of one cord of living wood! Now THAT's an offset!

We promise to plant enough trees to offset your carbon footprint. One offset credit = 115,000 btu's or 1 gallon of gas. That equals 16.5 lbs of wood after 5 years. One offset credit costs today $4.25 per credit. Use the calculations below to calculate how many credits you will need to be guilt free. |

Minimum purchase is 10 carbon offset credits. $42.50 |

| 1 lb. good wood | = 7,000 BTU |
| 1 kWh electricity | = 3,413 BTU |
