Tree Planting

My vehicle (according to the www.menofthetrees.com.au ... a site recommended to us by one of the organisers on our tree planting expedition) produces around 5,500 kgs of Carbon Dioxide emissions each year. To absorb these emissions, I must plant 35 trees that will grow for around 30 years.

If the average lifespan of an australian is 85 years, we each will need to plant around 2975 trees that will grow for 30 years to cover our life's production of C02 emissions. On our tree planting expedition, i probably planted around 40 trees...which means I only need to plant 2935 more!
