Does anyone know how many m2 or acres of jungle/forests are needed to offset the carbon footprint of the average American family?

In my situation I can't force others to stop digging carbon but I can buy say 1000 hectares somewhere and use them for carbon capture. In that case what would you do?

Perhaps we can change the atmospheric composition in other ways (to offset the greenhouse effect), but I don't see how we can realistically stop growth oriented humanity in the next decades from putting more CO2 into the atmosphere than we or Gaia take out of it.

Not true if you use the wood for construction etc. If you just let the woods ‚be‘ the Carbon capture goes flat, correct. But not in managed forests.

Approx 80 beeches pick up 1to CO2 per year. And there are approx 70 beeches per hectare ... so if you calculate your footprint take the tons of CO2 and purchase that amount of hectare (10,000qm) well managed forest in middle Europe.
