Tane’s Tree Trust has recently launched its Carbon Calculator, which helps you calculate how many native trees you need to plant to counteract your environmental foot print. You can also calculate how much CO2 your planted trees are removing or will be removing in the future. There are many examples and explanations of how this works.
