Port of New Orleans proposal

 


Perks of Power



1,100 forested acres equates to about 445 hectares

 It is estimated that forests soak up about 20 tons of CO2 per hectare per year and do so for 20+ years

445 hectares would absorb about 8,900 tons CO2 per year for 20+ years

how many hectares would be needed in Violet to absorb the carbon emissions from PONO's proposal?  the carbon emissions from all the concrete required for PONO's proposal and the carbon emissions for all the concrete required for PONO's magical raised road and rail transecting Bayou Bienvenue and the Central Wetlands? AND additional hectares to replace the removal of the 445 hectares?


The USACE has another commenting period on this massive proposal.

Comments and requests for public hearing are due before June 8 2022

Here's how to submit comments on the PONO Proposal
