Did you know that every time you use your car, computer or cell phone, you emit greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming? These gases accumulate in the atmosphere and alter the climate balance of our planet, causing droughts, floods, fires, and loss of biodiversity.With our offsetting tool, you can choose the package that best suits your lifestyle and budget, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Trees are living organisms that perform a vital function for the planet: photosynthesi This process consists of absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and converting it into oxygen and organic matter. In this way, trees help reduce the concentration of CO2, one of the main greenhouse gases that cause global warming. In addition, trees store carbon in their wood, leaves and soil, preventing it from returning to the atmosphere.
We at Back To Forest are not satisfied with just “offsetting” our impact on the planet. We think that’s like saying “sorry” after stepping on someone’s toes. We want to do more than apologize, we want to make things better. That’s why we are passionate about planting trees, the most awesome creatures on earth. Trees are not only beautiful, they also provide oxygen, shade, habitat, food and many other benefits. Our offset toolkit lets you choose from different packages that suit your budget and preferences. Whether you want to plant a single tree or a whole forest, we make it easy, affordable, fun and effective. Join us today and let’s get Back to Forest!
We work with 2 reforestation projects in Madagascar and Tanzania.to plant many species of trees including mangroves that are one of the most efficient carbon sequestering trees in the world and planting them provides much more than a carbon impact for our planet.
The Math
| Baby Food | 3.285 MT CO2 |
| Diapers | 0.22 MT CO2 |
| Clothes | 7.176 MT CO2 |
| Stroller | 0.321 MT CO2 |
| Books | 0.054 MT CO2 |
| Toys | 0.0108 MT CO2 |
| Total | 11.0668 MT CO2 |
The average baby drinks 750ml of milk per day, in order to convert this number into kilograms we use the conversion factor 0.001 and get 0.75kg
750ml of milk x 0.001 = 0.75 kg of milk
In order to calculate the total amount of milk over one year we multiple 0.75kg per day by 365 days.
0.75kg x 365days = 273.75 kg of milk per year
Each kg of milk generates 12 kilograms of CO2, so when we multiply 273.75 kilograms of milk by 12 kg we get the total CO2 emissions from milk.
273.75 kg of milk x 12 kg CO2 =3,285 kg CO2
In order to convert kg CO2 into metric tons CO2 we will use the conversion factor 0.001 which gives us 3.285 MT CO2.
3,285 kg CO2 x 0.001 = 3.285 MT CO2
Over 2.5 years diapers emit 550kg of carbon emissions. This means over a year’s time diapers would emit 220 kg CO2.
550 kg / 2.5 years =220 kg per year
In order to convert kilograms of CO2 into metric tons CO2 we will use the conversion factor 0.001which gives us 0.22 MT CO2 over a year.
220kg CO2 x 0.001 = 0.22 MT CO2
Let’s assume your manufacturer is 7,800 kilometers away and since your baby is growing a lot, you get 8 shipments per year. Each kilometer of flying emits 0.000115MT CO2. Clothing total emissions would equal 7.176 MT CO2
7800km x 0.000115grams x 8= 7.176 MT CO2
The carbon emissions of a stroller is 321 kg CO2, in order to convert kg CO2 into metric tons CO2 we will use the conversion factor 0.001, and we get a total of 0.321 MT CO2
321 kg CO2 x 0.001 = 0.321 MT CO2
The carbon footprint of an individual book is 2.7kg CO2. Let’s assume the average baby has 20 books at home. If we multiple 20 books by 2.7kg CO2 per book, we get 54kg CO2.
2.7kg x 20 books = 54 kg CO2
In order to convert kg CO2 into metric tons CO2 we will use the conversion factor 0.001 which gives us 0.054 MT CO2
54kg CO2 x 0.001 = 0.054MT CO2
Regular stuffed animals emit 0.8kg CO2 each and stuffed animals with a battery emit 1.4kg CO2 each.
Assuming a baby has 10 regular stuffed animals, and two stuffed animals with batteries, we would get a total of 10.8kg CO2.
(0.8kg CO2 x 10) + (1.4kg CO2 x 2) = 10.8 kg of CO2
In order to convert kg CO2 into metric tons CO2 we will use the conversion factor 0.001 which gives us 0.0108 MT CO2.
10.8kg CO2 x 0.001 = 0.0108 MT CO2
If we add all these components together we get a total of 11.0668 MT CO2
3.285 MT + 0.22 MT + 7.176 MT + 0.321 MT + 0.054MT + 0.0108 MT = 11.0668 MT CO2
