Looks very cool, but I was disappointed not to see any numbers. Has anyone heard what this kind of thing costs, and how much CO2 it removes?
Trees sequester ~48 lbs of CO2 per year.[1][2] So 48*100 = ~4800lbs CO2 removed per year for this project. As others have said I'm interested to see if they can do it cost effectively.

The average american carbon footprint is 19.8 tonnes per year [1], 19.8 tonnes / 4800 (pounds / "sa tree") = 9.082 surfaces areas of a tree per person to eliminate their carbon footprint. That's a lot better than I expected really... somewhat doubt my numbers.
(All number here have huge standard deviations, decimal points on the approximation should not be read as indicators of variance).
