CO2 offsetting... just an idea.

Got an idea just starting to tick over. Anyone know how many oak or beech trees a D3 needs per 10000 miles to appear carbon neutral?

Will need to discuss with Martin...

My dodgy maths has it as 3 tonnes per year/10,000 miles in a TDV6 = 15 trees (baby trees). I'll await more accurate sums.
