Calculating CO2 Production
Calculating CO2 Production
A young tree can remove 11 kilograms (24 pounds) of
CO2 from the atmosphere in a year. Each liter of gasoline
burned by a car produces 3 kilograms (about 7 pounds) of
CO2. Suppose you are taking a trip by car. Your roundtrip mileage is 250 kilometers (about 400 miles), and you
get 13 kilometers (30 miles) for every liter of gas.

1. Calculate how many young trees are needed in 1 year
to remove the CO2 that was produced from your
SINGLE trip.
2. In 1 year, how many trees are required to remove the
CO2 produced by 100 cars taking the same trip and
getting the same number of kilometers per liter?
3. Was your trip ecologically efficient? EXPLAIN.
4. What alternative transportation methods might be
more ecologically efficient?
