How sustainable is Apple's strategy of planting 8,000 trees on its campus?
Outro estudo parece especialmente aplicável à Apple. Em 2009, pesquisadores na California State University Northridge, estudaram o sequestro de carbono nos 350 acres do campus da universidade. Os alunos catalogaram todas as 3.900 árvores por tipo e tamanho. Usando dados do Centro de Pesquisa Florestal Urbana, um ramo do Serviço Florestal dos EUA, eles estimaram a quantidade que cada árvore provavelmente sequestrava. A média era de 40 quilos por árvore a cada ano. (Em contrapartida, um americano médio é responsável por emitir cerca de 20.000 quilogramas de carbono anualmente). Em seguida, eles compararam o sequestro total com a quantidade de carbono emitida pelas fontes do campus. (Essas fontes incluíram a produção de eletricidade para alimentação dos edifícios – mas não o transporte para e a partir do campus). O resultado: as árvores sequestraram menos de um por cento da quantidade de carbono liberada durante o mesmo período. Dito de outra forma, a quantidade de carbono sequestrada em uma escola com 41 mil alunos, iguala-se a produção de carbono de oito americanos médios. -- ArchDaily Brazil (in Portuguese)
