According to Popular Science: Oct 1994 v245 n4 p62(4) "each 20-pound auto tire yields about six pounds of carbon" when burned.
So for every $100 donated we can burn approximatly 6 used tires and emit another 36 pounds of carbon. also,one million tires used as fuel in place of coal would reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 19.5 percent By Meaghan O'Neill and treehugger.com "For each gallon of gas your car burns, it releases about 19 pounds of carbon dioxide."
So for every $100 donated we can burn approximatly 30 gallons of fuel and emit a whopping 570 pounds of carbon back into the atmosphere to help our environment recover from this pre-meditated assault it is currently under.
www.drivinggreen.com The average American with a 2006 car drives 12,000 miles per year, emitting approximately 11,000 pounds of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere (equal to the amount stored in 128 tree seedlings grown for 10 years). With DrivingGreen.com the entire amount can be offset for $40.00!
This means that in order to reset the forest back to it's normal state before another 128 trees were forcefully added, we will have to cut down at least 1 tree that is over 100 years old right away.
Your $100 donation will cover much of the lumberjacks daily expense.

Daily University Science News, New research based on NASA satellite data and a multinational field experiment shows "Because aerosols that contain black carbon both absorb and reflect incoming sunlight, these particles can exert a regional cooling influence on Earth's surface that is about 3 times greater than the warming effect of greenhouse gases". The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery "Because two oxygen atoms combine with one carbon atom to form CO2, around three and a half tonnes of the gas is created for every tonne of anthracite consumed." That is the equivalent of emitting 3.5 pounds of carbon for every pound of coal burned.
This means that the best way to help save the polar bears and the North Pole ice cap is to release as many black carbon aerosols into the regional climate. This will have the net effect of cooling the surface and reversing the current melting that is occuring. For every $100 donated we can burn approx. 200 pounds of coal and put 700 pounds of black carbon particulate in the atmosphere to help the polar bears.
