$50 Spent instore, Results in approximately 12 Trees being planted.
CO2 Offset per Tree: 308 kg
Total CO2 Offset by 12 Trees: 308 kg/tree * 12 trees = 3,696 kg
So, the 12 trees planted for each product can absorb a total of 3,696 kilograms (or approximately 3.7 metric tons) of CO2 in their lifetime.

Driving 25,000 KM
A typical car emits approximately 2.3 kg of CO2 per liter of gasoline burned.
Assuming your car averages 8.5 liters per 100 km (which is common), it would emit about 195 kg of CO2 for 25,000 km.
Planting 12 trees can absorb approximately 576 pounds (262 kg) of CO2 per year.
So, the 12 trees can offset the emissions from driving 25,000 km in about 1.1 years.
Home's Yearly Energy Usage:
Average Family Home's Yearly Energy Usage:
The average annual energy consumption for a U.S. household is about 10,972 kWh.
The carbon intensity of electricity generation varies, but it's approximately 0.4 kg of CO2 per kWh in the United States.
Therefore, the annual emissions for an average family home are around 4,389 kg of CO2.
The 12 trees can absorb approximately 576 pounds (262 kg) of CO2 per year.
So, the 12 trees can offset the annual emissions of an average family home for about 1.1 years.
Recycling 1 Tonne of Paper
Recycling 1 Tonne of Paper:
Recycling 1 tonne (1,000 kg) of paper saves approximately 3.5 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
The 12 trees can absorb approximately 576 pounds (262 kg) of CO2 per year.
So, the 12 trees can offset the emissions saved by recycling 1 tonne of paper for about 2.3 years.
A 7-day Cruise (2 Passengers)
A 7-day Cruise (2 Passengers):
The carbon footprint of a cruise can vary widely depending on the cruise line, route, and ship's efficiency, but it's estimated at around 0.43 kg of CO2 per passenger-mile.
A 7-day cruise might cover approximately 2,000 miles (3,219 km) on average.
This would result in around 865.7 kg of CO2 emissions per passenger for the entire cruise.
The 12 trees can absorb approximately 576 pounds (262 kg) of CO2 per year.
So, the 12 trees can offset the emissions from a 7-day cruise (per passenger) in about 0.45 years.
Burning 1.5 tons of coal
Burning 1.5 tons of coal:
Burning 1.5 tons of coal emits approximately 3,000 kg (3 metric tons) of CO2.
The 12 trees can absorb approximately 576 pounds (262 kg) of CO2 per year.
So, the 12 trees can offset the emissions from burning 1.5 tons of coal in about 5.8 years.
These calculations are estimates and can vary based on factors like tree growth rates and carbon intensity of energy sources. However, they provide a reasonable approximation of the positive impact of planting 12 trees on various activities.
