Australians emit a lot of carbon.
Australians emit a lot of carbon.
The average Australian pollutes 14 tonnes of CO2 per year, the world's average is 4 tonnes, for North Americans it's 8.5 tonnes.

It is easy to come to an estimate by calculating how much you emit by how much you drive, how much you use public transport, use of solar, if you buy local produce, how much heating and cooling you use at home and at work, how much meat you eat, how much you travel by plane. For example if you fly from Australia to London by plane your emissions would be about 2 tonnes of Co2. To buy carbon credits from a carbon sink company to sequester that carbon emitted it would cost you (@$25/tonne) $100 to eliminate your return trip. Off-set companies buy land with trees already on them, they don't actually plant trees, they just don't cut them down. We plant!

It's not difficult to work out if you are emitting less or more than average. You could even add more to your calculations to cover others or, add some to cover your previous years emissions. Or, if you are on a tight budget, less. You can even give a donation of trees as a gift to someone else. As long as you are happy with what you can achieve, so are we.

The figures
The figures
The figures are based on the following: Hardwood trees with a 350 mm diameter weigh about 1 ton and take about 10 years to grow. A 500 mm diameter tree can weigh as much as 4 tons, while mature trees 1 mt in diameter, 100 years old, can weigh a whopping 8 tons and store 4 tons of carbon for 100's of years, even if cut down and used as timber. Timber is about 50% carbon.

Jane, flys to London every year, she lives in a new three-bedroom house, she travels by car to work, eats meat every day, smokes, has a cat and a dog, no solar and she goes on regular holidays to Bali. Above average carbon emissions of at least 20 tons a year. She would need to plant at least 30 trees a year.

Jake, on the other hand, lives in an old shared house, takes public, is a vegetarian, buys mostly local produce, goes camping, and buys second hand clothes and furniture. He is at below average on 5 tons a year. He would need to plant 10 trees a year.
