EXAMPLE <br /> <br />An individual travels about 13,000 Miles per year. <br /> <br /> 7,000 miles is through walking, biking and running. <br /> <br /> This carbon dioxide production is balanced by <br /> photosynthesis of the plants consumed by the person. <br /> <br />5,000 miles is through the use of an automobile. <br /> <br />This carbon must be removed by a plant or some <br />new technology to keep the cycle in balance. <br /> <br />If an ecosystem was financially <br />compensated for their ability to <br />sequester carbon how much <br />would it be worth. <br /> <br />Carbon Sequestration <br /> <br />· 1 Hector of our native landscape can sequester <br /> between 1.5 and 3 tons of carbon a year. <br /> <br />· Sequestration of one ton of carbon has an <br /> estimated market value of $100 to $300. (Of <br /> course there is no market today but then <br /> humanity is just starting to address the issue of <br /> carbon dioxide emissions.) <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br /> <br />
