Hi Darren.

Could you give us some more detail on the following:

"... but also in vegetation stores (of millions of trees actually - about
2.5million or so at last count)...."

Obviously you haven't planted 2.5 million trees (that would be 150 trees per
day, every day for 45+ years), so I'm wondering how you get to that number.

Thanks.

Of course I have been charged with being Carbon Negative (my preference of
semantry!) many times and I have done the math many times to prove that I
and my family emit far, far less carbon than we sequester: especially in
soil carbon but also in vegetation stores (of millions of trees actually -
about 2.5million or so at last count)....what concerns me is how much Carbon
send out of the mouths without returning it to the lithosphere (Carbon
positivity!) and that is the ultimate challenge to all of us in every
activity: that's being a conscious being in this day and age....
