The Greenfleet Tree Totaler . . . how many trees do you owe? . . .

[OneBlueSky]

this is a pretty interesting exercise from an Australian environmental group called Greenfleet . . . you can calculate your annual emissions from vehicular, household, and flight sources, and the number of trees needed to offset them . . . you can actually sign up to contribute if you like, and they'll plant the trees for you . . . in Australia, of course . . .

2. I'll plant one for you - which do you prefer - Jacaranda or Pawpaw?

Really. I'm sprouting some seedlings to plant on my property. I owe 37, and I have open space for more. Every once in a while as it grows, I'll say "that's OneBlueSky's tree".

3. It will take me awhile to count the number of trees and bushes

I've planted but my favorite are 3 Blue Spruce that were 3 feet tall when planted and now 23 years later they are maybe 30 feet

4. I have leftover trees!

We have more than 33 trees, which is what the quiz said we used up in "tonnes". So, I figure I'm ahead of the game! Our trees are MONDO big! Must have 50 of them on the property.. yay! I'm not a total polluter!

5. 103 trees because of all the goddam flying I do

:grr:

7. I owe one tree. What does this mean?

I've got about four or five trees in my yard. Do I have to plant another one every year, or will one of these trees pay my debt?

[Eye and Monkey]

8. Plant one every year, just to be sure. If you don't have room in your -

yard, find a playground or park that needs one and ask the local parks department about donating one.

Or I'll just plant one here for you. Which do you prefer - Jacaranda or Pawpaw?

9. My family owes 46 trees

In our proper yard, we have 6 LARGE oaks, 4 large sweet gums and numerous baby sweet gums, 8 pines, a couple of maples, 5 elms, and 10 poplars as a wind break. The sweetgums multiply like rabbits. You can't even see our house for all the trees. Then the back of our property is all woods - we never cleared any of it. Think we have more than enough trees in our yard to cover our emmissions.

10. OUCH!!
