I guess the narvinders and pajeets don't help towards the "net-zero" goal, whatever that is.

I don't think we have to worry, at least about the CO2,
The carbon output from a 180 lb (approximately 82 kg) human breathing each day is roughly 2.3 pounds (1.04 kg) of CO₂, based on standard estimates for an average adult, as 180 lb is close to typical adult male body weights.
A mature tree absorbs an average of about 48 pounds (21.8 kg) of CO₂ per year.
To find the daily absorption per tree:
48 pounds/year ÷ 365 days/year ≈ 0.1315 pounds/day (or 21.8 kg/year ÷ 365 days/year ≈ 0.0597 kg/day).
To calculate the number of trees needed:
Human daily CO₂ output ÷ tree daily CO₂ absorption = 2.3 pounds ÷ 0.1315 pounds/tree ≈ 17.5 trees.
This assumes an average mature tree (e.g., a broadleaf species like oak in temperate climates) and net annual absorption rates, which can vary by tree species, age, health, location, and season (trees absorb CO₂ primarily during the growing season via photosynthesis). Human CO₂ output can also vary slightly based on activity level, diet, and exact metabolic rate, but the figure used is a standard daily average for resting to moderate activity.
In Canada, there are an estimated 8,953 trees per person. This high number makes Canada one of the countries with the highest tree-to-person ratio in the world. Despite this, not all Canadians have equal access to these trees and their benefits, especially those living in urban areas.
I'd say we're more than breaking even.,

More on why humans need to die to save the planet
I agree more humans need to die. Anyone who believes that climate change is real, the ocean is rising, the polar bears are going extinct all need to terminate themselves quickly so that the planet should live.
If it saves one life do it
