Facts and figures:
- The average person produces 26 tonnes of CO 2 per year
- A 25 foot tree absorbs the equivalent of 5 room air conditioners running 20 hours per day
- One mature tree intercepts between 54 and 109 kilograms of small particles and gases of air pollution
- One front yard tree intercepts over 3 kilograms of air pollutants
- Each tree planted ‘offsets' your environmental impact by ‘breathing' in about 730 kg in CO 2 emissions over its lifetime of 100 years. It is estimated that the average person needs to save about 7,000 kg of CO 2 per year. So planting just 10 trees per year is one strategy for achieving this.
