Carbon Calculator (Energy Priorities)

Every business contributes to unhealthy carbon emissions. A few have gone as far as to plant trees to offset their share. For those with a green thumb (but a guilty conscience), a carbon calculator is available online. The UK site will even plant the trees for you.

Do you fly ten times a year for business? Plant 14 trees to offset the carbon emitted by the flights. Drive a company truck 1000 miles a week? Plant 27 trees.

Translate your power bill into the number of trees needed to zero out your facility's carbon emissions, with the carbon calculator online.
