While each tree makes a meaningful impact, it takes 211 trees to offset one car's annual emissions. Climate action requires both individual contributions and systemic change.
A mature tree absorbs an average of 48 lbs (21.8 kg) of CO₂ per year. Over a 40-year lifespan, a single tree sequesters approximately 1,920 lbs (~870 kg) of CO₂.
"A mature tree absorbs about 48 lbs of CO₂ per year."
"Urban trees can store 2.4 billion tons of carbon and sequester 25.6 million tons annually."
A typical passenger vehicle emits ~10,141 lbs (4.6 metric tons) of CO₂ annually. 211 trees are needed to absorb 1 car's yearly emissions.
"The average passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of CO₂ annually."
One mature tree can cool the surrounding area by 2–9°F (1–5°C) through evapotranspiration and shade.
"Trees and vegetation lower surface and air temperatures through evapotranspiration."
"Tree canopy reduces ambient air temperatures in cities significantly."
A single tree supports 200–500 insect species, 2–3 bird species, and many mammals, creating complex ecosystems.
"Native trees are critical to sustaining complex ecosystems."
"Urban tree canopy cover can range from 5 m² to 50 m² depending on species."
We work with verified reforestation partners and perform reviewed research to ensure all reported metrics are authentic and reliable.
Every tree you plant is a step toward cleaner air, cooler cities, carbon-neutral transportation, and healthier ecosystems.
