FAQs

The Global Improvement Group uses highly credible sources in our carbon offset calculations. For individual offsets, we use the carbon footprint of the average American based on research found by ourworldindata.org. This data has found average emissions to be 16.2 tonnes annually or 35,714.9 lbs, equaling 2,976.2 lbs monthly. Rosian.org has found the average tree offsets 679.7 lbs of CO2 throughout it’s lifetime. Breaking down 2,976.2 / 679.7 leads us to plant 4.38 trees per month for each individual offset subscription. This adds up to 52.56 trees annually. We round up and plant 5 trees per month and 60 per year for good measure with our personal offset packages. Do your part and sign up here!
