Earthwatch · now part of EarthConvergence
Earthwatchwhat a planting or a panel is worth, roughly
Earthwatch began as a separate environmental-impact dashboard. It now lives here, as part of EarthConvergence: the study of other species and the watch on the places they live belong on the same site. What carries over is its impact estimator — the same arithmetic, running in your browser, with every coefficient printed.

Impact estimator
× 0.0218 t CO₂ each
× 0.137 t CO₂ per m²
× 0.000475 t CO₂ per kWh
Estimated CO₂ offset
4.50 tonnes
- From trees
- 100 × 0.0218 = 2.180 t
- From solar
- 10.0 m² × 0.137 = 1.370 t
- From energy
- 2,000 kWh × 0.000475 = 0.950 t
