My tree at Carbon Grove

“The way we determine how many trees to plant is: look at the number of people who go to Carbon Grove, plant a virtual tree, and go back to see it grow six times,” he said. “The point of each visit is to say ‘you’re doing the things you committed to do to help the environment and to see your virtual tree growing.’ By the sixth week we figure you’re essentially going to keep doing them. At that point, Microsoft and Internet Explorer will plant a real tree with American Forest to support your commitment.”

 The real trees then remove carbon from the air. Over a year, Microsoft’s 250,000 trees will filter out the carbon dioxide created from 10,842,000 miles of automobile travel. They will simultaneously provide enough oxygen for 125,000 people.
