 * //Green House Gas Emission Inventory//**//:**Carbon Sequestration and School Landscapes**//
 * For this activity students will need to complete an inventory of trees on their school properties using Google Earth and simple field measurements - eg. dbh and tree identification keys.
 * The completed inventory is then used to estimate the amount of carbon sequestered in the campus trees
 * Hypothetical plantings can be used to calculate the potential carbon securing effects of planting trees where none now exist
