This is the effect your link purchases have on the earth.
For every ton of CO2 carbon credits that are purchased with links, you save the equivalent of:
- CO2 emissions from 113 gallons of gasoline consumed
- CO2 emissions from 2.3 barrels of oil consumed
- CO2 emissions from 41.6 propane cylinders used for home barbeques
- Carbon sequestered by 25.6 tree seedlings grown for 10 years
- CO2 emissions from the energy use of 0.09 homes for one year
- CO2 emissions from the electricity use of 0.13 homes for one year
If together we can offset 12.5 tons* a month, we'd save the equivalents of these within a year:
- CO2 emissions from 16,950 gallons of gasoline consumed
- CO2 emissions from 345 barrels of oil consumed
- CO2 emissions from 6240 propane cylinders used for home barbeques
- Carbon sequestered by 3840 tree seedlings grown for 10 years
- CO2 emissions from the energy use of 13.5 homes for one year
- CO2 emissions from the electricity use of 19.5 homes for one year
*12.5 tons a month calculated as: 20 featured links @ 100kg each, 200 regular links @ 50kg each, 20 recipricol links @ 25 kg each. Measurements calculated from EPA's online CO2 calculator |
