What does mitigating 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide equivalent accomplish?
The average driver puts 15,000 miles on their vehicle per year. For a mid-sized car, that equates to emitting about 12,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. Larger vehicles release about 20,000 pounds – nearly double that amount. Over a year, just one or two blocks of carbon offset per month can balance the negative impact of emissions from driving a vehicle.
