Lets see a correctly audited set of books from CO2 AUstralia who I have never heard of until now (and look what happended to Easy Being Green?) and the details of the Qantas collection and allocating of the monies?

If every Aussie plants and looks after one tree per year thats 21 million trees per annum - one helluva lot of GGE's regurgitated?

However, it said the average large eucalypt (Blue Gums the popular choice of tree to plant, fast growing, good timber for woodchips requires 200 galons of water per day (758 ltrs)?

The story gets more and more complicated the more it is explored:

If we plant too many trees do we absorb too much CO2 and create a CO2 imbalance with in the enviroment?

Alot of water is required to sustain the trees - where is it going to come from?

Then we require another woodchip plant to recycle the trees - more water needed and pollution created processing the trees?

So many questions - so few answers from the conservationists

And, note they have failed to address the GGE gasometer question?

Perhaps it is Bull****e too?
