Mission 100 Trees Planting

Planting 100 trees is a great positive step, but it won’t stop global warming by itself. Here’s the real impact:

On average, one healthy tree absorbs about 20–25 kg of CO₂ per year once it grows. 

So, 100 trees could absorb roughly:

100 \times 22 \text{ kg} \approx 2,200 \text{ kg CO₂/year}

That equals about 2.2 metric tons of CO₂ per year.

100 \times 22\text{ kg CO_2/year} \approx 2200\text{ kg CO_2/year}

To understand the scale:

2.2 tons of CO₂ is roughly similar to emissions from:

Driving a car for about 8,000–10,000 km

Electricity use of a small home for several months

Over 20–30 years, your 100 trees could remove 40–60 tons of CO₂ if they survive and grow well.

Beyond carbon, trees also:

Cool local temperatures

Improve air quality

Increase rainfall support

Reduce soil erosion

Provide shade and wildlife habitat

The biggest impact comes when many people plant trees together. If 1,000 people each planted 100 trees, that would mean 100,000 trees — a much larger climate effect.

For a hot city like Ahmedabad, planting shade trees can also reduce local heat and reduce AC use during summer.
