Their calculator put me at 16.3 tons.

The biggest impact they calculate is driving an electric vehicle; but I doubt they take into account the additional CO2 footprint of a new vehicle.

My house is ineligible for solar panels, because it sits under trees. Reducing meat consumption by 30% would only cut emissions down by 0.3 tons.

The good news is, I can offset 100% of that by paying for tree planting in Kenya, for only $208/year. Which frankly sounds too good to be true.
