Note: As a reference, each year a typical EMC home in Georgia uses about 15,000 kWh of electricity, about 880 therms of natural gas and about 1,120 gallons of gasoline. Your usage may vary.

**Typically one acre of pine forest will sequester about 4 tons of CO2 each year. The actual tons of CO2 sequestered per acre of forest will vary. See "How Much CO2 can a Tree Store?" This number will be reviewed and adjusted annually based on the actual sequestration rates of the forests used in the program.
