JNF, the Jewish National Fund, has just posted a GoNeutral Carbon Calculator that, based on your answers to a short survey, determines how big your carbon footprint in, in terms of tons/pounds...and how many trees you need to plant to offset this.
The JNF is a non-profit organization that plants trees in order to raise money to support the state's many infrastructure projects. A tree costs $10. Entire forests have been created this way. Think about it: JNF has been doing this for over 60 years, making it one of the oldest environmental groups in the world!
Turns out Lori and I have a carbon footprint that can be offset by planting 46 trees this year. Try it and let us know how big your carbon footprint is!
