Trees needed to offset CO2 API

Compute trees and forest area needed to sequester a CO2e footprint: trees = kg / (kgPerTreePerYear x years), using the EPA estimate of ~21 kg CO2/year sequestered by a mature tree, plus ~1000 trees/hectare. Returns trees needed, forest hectares and acres. Answers 'how many trees to offset 1 tonne of CO2','forest area to neutralize my footprint','trees per tonne CO2','reforestation needed for my emissions'.
