How do you plant paulownia trees using carbon dioxide emission credits?

Any Carbon offset credit project involves a great deal of time, work and expertise. Revenue from Carbon offset credit sales can go towards a Paulownia plantation, but since certification can take 5 years to achieve, some upfront capital is required to start the planting. You will need to conduct a great deal of research before starting the project and have a Carbon expert working with you. One existing Paulownia plantation that is applying for Carbon offset credits is the Princess Project Panama


How dinosaur footprint turn into fossils?

What is the average carbon footprint per office person?

There are so, so , so many different things that give off carbon compounds, that it is very hard to estimate the quantity. We do know that people and people's things are a very small fraction of total carbon emiissions compared to volcanoes, animal emissions, and burning oil and tar pits that have been burning for hundreds of years. Not even close, the largest quantity of 'greenhouse' gas in the atomosphere is water vapor: humidity. Without these gases in the atmosphere, nearly all plants would die and all the land animals would be burnt to death by the Sun's heat. (That includes you and me!)

Why is the recycling of carbon necessary?

It is necessary in order to reduce our planetary 'carbon footprint' by as much as humanly possible. Carbon that we release from biomass can (theoretically) be absorbed back into the plants that make up the biomass. Carbon that we take from deep in the ground and release into the air is in the environment for thousands or millions of years unless we take specific steps to gather and contain it.


Do footprint last on earth for more than 30 years?

Depending on the environment, it may be possible for a footprint to last more than 30 years. If an environment is exposed to consistent changes and elements, such as rain, wind, etc., then it is just about impossible for a footprint to last that long. In an environment where virtually no elements are present, in a cave for instance, then it could be possible for a footprint to last that long.
