Offset estimate

To offset your footprint you would need approximately 486 trees absorbing carbon for a full year (~45 trees per tonne/year).

Put It In Context

The average American's annual carbon footprint equals driving 35,000 miles. A single transatlantic flight emits more CO₂ than an entire year of vegetarian eating. Globally, the richest 10% of people are responsible for about 50% of all emissions — yet climate impacts fall hardest on low-emitting, lower-income countries.
