GreenFleet plants trees on your car's behalf

Have no other feasible way of getting around than your trusty (or rusty) non-hybrid automobile, yet you get the guilts every time you hear the engine tick over? Maybe you need a little stress relief. In Australia, a not-for-profit organisation, called Greenfleet calculates that your car produces 4.3 tonnes of greenhouse gas annually. For a yearly fee they will plant 17 trees to absorb your vehicle's CO2 emissions. So far 1.7 million trees have been put to work. Similar programs exist in other countries.
