For Earth Day this year, this piece also offsets 1000+ mt of CO2 by funding climate action....
As a result, the 1000 mt CO2...offsets your footprint for the rest of your life.
Annual carbon footprint of an individual in a developed country ranges from 10-16 mt CO2. (https://ourworldindata.org/per-capita-co2)
Taking the high end of the range to be fair, we’ll put it at 16mt CO2/yr. So 1000mt offset / 16mt per year = 62.5 years offset.
Offsets 5000x the footprint of an NFT.
Average NFT has footprint of 200kg CO2. (https://memoakten.medium.com/analytics-the-unreasonable-ecological-cost-of-cryptoart-72f9066b90d)
So 1000mt = 1,000,000 kg / 200kg per NFT = 5000x offset
Via funding these climate projects:
100mt offset via Bull Run Forest Carbon Project in Belize
https://offsetra.com/projects/bull-run
Protects nearly 5,000 hectares of endangered forest in Belize. Verra Certified Project
900mt offset via Eden Reforestation Projects in Madagascar
https://edenprojects.org/madagascar/
Plants over 10,000 mangrove trees in Madagascar.
A mangrove tree sequesters 84kg of CO2 over lifespan. (https://raidboxes.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Carbon-Sequestration-in-Mangroves.pdf).
Therefore, 10,714 trees will be planted to equal 900mt.
