"Drive to the suburban forest in your SUV, plant 100 trees that will inevitably be cut down long before they have a carbon negative impact, come home and run your AC. You're still running 1000/1 in negative C02 balance."

So do 1000 times that, and don't plant them in a suburban forest but one that will stay around longer. Or contribute money to tree planting initiatives who do it right.

Each apple, each year, for the last 40 years, that somebody grow in their garden, is an apple less that must be moved burning gasoline from Idaho or Colorado to a market near you, one piece of fruit less that must be waxed and wrapped in plastic and put in one-use wood boxes, before to be moved again to your house, probably burning a litte more gaz.

Trees provide more services than log production
