Here's how your Treewards contribute to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere.

CO2 Absorption

The Power of Trees

Trees play a critical role in sequestering carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. On average, a single mature tree can absorb approximately 48 pounds (21.77 kilograms) of CO2 per year. Over its lifetime, which can span around 40 years or more, one tree can absorb about 1 ton (907 kilograms) of CO2. This data is supported by multiple reputable sources:

U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service

According to the USDA Forest Service, a mature tree absorbs about 48 pounds of CO2 annually, amounting to approximately 1 ton over 40 years.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

The EPA states that urban trees can absorb between 35 to 48 pounds of CO2 each year.
