Trees and Oxygen

According to Website Carbon, 10k monthly page views on Cowriters emit the amount of carbon that four trees absorb in a year.

Turns out it’s been pretty much the case over the last 6 months.

Since I’m using a green provider for my web server, the carbon emission is already offset, but I like to think my parents did.

When they moved out to their current house, there were about six trees spread over 2000m².

15 years later, the garden has now several creeping plants, shrubs, and new trees. An apple tree, a pear tree, wild cherries, and hazelnuts. But also non-fruit trees. The diversity is much better than it used to, so it attracts shrews, birds, hedgehogs, lizards, and all kinds of birds.

Over the next years, I’d really like to help out more at the garden. Not just to grow their legacy, but also to learn more about how things grow and how I can minimize my carbon footprint. According to my approximations, my website activities should have a negative carbon footprint. I only need to maintain the current biodiversity, expand it wherever possible, and increase my app’s performance.
