    trees act as carbon vaults
    0:25
    a large portion of that carbon isn't released
    0:27
    a chemical reaction called photosynthesis
    0:25
    Very few trees can compete with this carbon impact
    0:30
    Plastic is difficult to break down
    0:32
    Recycling these bags also offsets their carbon footprint
    0:29
    To quantify that offset
    0:34
    it's contributed an estimated 1.6 kg of carbon
