Environment: Becoming Carbon Neutral

Pragmatic and the most effective of the sites doing this sort of 'calculate your damage and make a contribution so we can plant trees to deflect'.

Question: Do trees hold onto the carbon forever, or do they, eventually, 'off-gas'?

Observation: These sorts of sites assume an 80 year payback. You actually do a lot of damage on your one flight/drive etc. but since the tree will be absorbing carbon for 80 years, you only need to plant one tree. Seems like we might need to be planting 80 tress at a time.
