There are plenty of websites offering to plant trees for you to offset your carbon footprint. Here is a comparison of the main ones I found.

My favourite is Tree-Nation because they have dozens of projects around the world, they let you choose the type of tree to plant in each project, and they show the amount of CO2 offset by each species of tree. They have nice stats showing the trees you have planted over time. If you prefer a quick solution, you can simply register for their automatic carbon offset plans from 5€/month.

Other ways to plant trees for free include:

  • Use Ecosia as your web browser (each search removes 1 kg of CO2)
  • Add the Click a Tree Tree-Planting Assistant extension for Chrome
  • Book your travel tickets and accommodation via B'n'Tree (including Booking.com, Expedia, Skyscanner, etc.). One tree will be planted for each booking.
  • Get a Tomorrow bank account (with Visa debit card) - if you live in Europe. Trees in the Amazon Forest are protected for every single euro spent.

I have classified and sorted all the trees available at present on Tree-Nation. My purpose was to see which trees are the most efficient at capturing CO2. Overall, the best deals in lifetime CO2 to € per tree are generally found in India, Nepal, and Bolivia. The worst are in Europe, which is to be expected as manpower is more expensive and the colder climate slows the grows of trees.

I have searched a lot of websites to try to find the most efficient species of tree to sequester carbon dioxide. It's surprisingly hard to find information on the subject.

This site has a short list of the best trees to sequester CO2 in North America, Australia and Europe. I have converted the values in pound to kg.

This BBC article provides an important caveat.

"Specifically, according to a 2007 study that has been repeatedly confirmed, the best place to plant new trees is the tropics, where trees grow fastest and thus trap the most CO2. In contrast, planting trees in snowy regions near the poles is likely to cause a net warming, while planting them in temperate climates – like that of the UK, much of Europe and parts of the US – may have no net effect on climate."


Indeed this 2018 scientific study confirms that the same species of trees sequester far more CO2 in tropical regions than in temperate or boreal ones.

Are there any people here who have been trained as wildlife conservationists? How hard is it, and how much does it cost to train?
 
It's good that people are talking about it and trying their best to maintain the state of our nature.
