The carbon makes up half the dry weight of a tree. One ton of carbon equals 3.67 tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Planting and caring for trees is not the only way to fight climate change, but it is reliable and effective.
Trees remove carbon dioxide from the air naturally.
Planting more trees, at the right time and in the right place, is only common sense. For most species in North America, this is between 10 and 60 years. As they grow, trees compete for root space, sunlight, and water. Not all make it to 40 years, but those that do, represent the full carbon potential of that ground area.
